The Dragonbone Chair

Item from Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams

The throne of the High King — made from the bones of the dragon Shurakai, a seat of power built on a lie and a dead monster, and the symbol of everything mortal Osten Ard believes about itself.

Also known as: The Dragonbone Chair, The Dragon Throne

What They Know

• Made from the bones of the dragon Shurakai — a red dragon with teeth as long as Simon's hand and scales of red-gold
• Prester John didn't actually kill the dragon — Eahlstan Fiskerne did, two centuries earlier, and died in the process
• The chair is the symbol of the High King's authority — whoever sits on it rules Osten Ard, at least in theory
