Chair of Office

The Chair of Office first appears in Light Bringer as the grim, living throne of the Reaper, its black iron frame entwined with asps that coil and writhe around the arms. The serpents serve as both ornament and warning, embodying Darrow’s hard-won dominion over the Rim and the lingering threat of his rule. Across the saga the chair evolves from a simple seat of power into a symbol of the uneasy balance between conquest and governance, its living guardians reflecting the precarious nature of the new order Darrow has forged.
