Emerald Throne

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Emerald Throne was the first throne of the Empire of Rokugan. It served as a physical symbol of the might and glory of the Hantei Emperors and the Empire overall. The throne itself was crafted out of a single large emerald for the first Hantei and served as the throne for every Hantei Emperor thereafter until the Hantei Dynasty's demise in 1128.

The Emerald Throne was damaged during the Scorpion Coup, when during a duel with Bayushi Shoju, Lion Clan Champion Akodo Toturi accidentially drove his sword into the throne, leaving a huge gash from the top to the back to the solid emerald seat.[1]

When the Clan War ended and Toturi became Emperor, he ordered a new throne be crafted from jade.
