Golden Throne

The Golden Throne contains the body of the Emperor of Mankind in suspended animation. The Golden Throne itself is a huge, baroque work of machinery that is semi-organic and requires the sacifice of large numbers of pyskers daily for it to function and the Emperor to be kept alive. The Golden throne itself is never seen by almost the entirety of the Imperiums citizen. In fact, the majority of the people who see it are either about to be absorbed by the Golden throne are of the Legio Custodes, the Emperors Chosen. They are bio-engineered like the Space Marines, but to a much greater degree. As the Emperors personal guards, they keep him safe and the beacon through the warp that he gives out, the Astronomican, bright.
