The Iberian Throne is the seat of the Lord of the Balancín Kingdoms (formerly the Lord of the Iberian Palace), and is often used as a metonymic device to refer to the authority of the King of the Balancín Kingdoms or the polity born after the independence of the Kingdoms from Wiltshire. The King often holds audiences and dispences decrees and justice from atop it in the Iberian Palace's throne room.
According to Balancín history, the Iberian Throne was forged by King Philip The Great after the Balancín victory in the war for independence. Prior to the construction of the Iberian Palace, the Iberian Throne was housed in the Great Hall of the Rock. It was moved to the Iberian Palace following its construction during the long reign of Charles I.
Today, the Iberian Throne is a sovereign entity, which operates from, is headquartered in, and exercises "exclusive dominion" over the Balancín Kingdoms as the head of the nation's feudal societal structure. The Lord of the Iberian Palace is, thus, sovereign. The current Lord of the Iberian Palace is Maximilian II. Since the Ecumenical Council of Lancastria in 3022, the Lord of the Iberian Palace is a role that is held simultaneously with that of Legate of the Rockfield Rite, which mandates the holder be a man. Thus, all Lords of the Iberian Palace that succeed Maximilian II must be male.
The throne itself changes with every monarch. It was originally a velvet chair, embroided with "FR", for Felipe Rey. Later monarchs either significantly reformed or entirely replaced the main throne. Antony Edmund II's throne is still in use today, being the main throne in the chamber of the Cortes Generals in Parliament. The main throne, at the Iberian Palace, was constructed specifically by King Charles VI as a low-backed golden chair with red velvet cushions. That throne was replaced in 3023 by King Maximilian The Crusader, who constructed the current throne. The Crusader's Throne is significantly larger than previous thrones, being made of steel and deepslate. Affixed to the metal structure are the swords of the fallen crusaders, from the 3023 Doggerlands Crusades.
