Ruby Throne

The Ruby Throne is in the Imperial City in Cyrodiil. It is where the Emporer sits to govern the Empire founded by Tiber Septim, or Talos. Up until the Oblivion Crisis, it was sat upon by a member of the Septim blood-line. That blood-line ended when Martin Septim, the last Septim, sacrificed himself to defeat a daedric lord from conquering Tamriel. The Throne has never been shown in an Elder Scrolls game so far, but will appear for the first time in Elder Scrolls Online.

The Ruby Throne plays a special role in The Elder Scrolls Online. When a faction conquers the Imperial City, their best player will be crowned Emporer of Tamriel. This title may not last foreever, but it will bring special attributes to the "New Emporer" when he/she fights in the PvP enviornment of Cyrodiil. The Ruby Throne has become a symbol for power amongst the 3 factions' mission statments. They all view the Ruby Throne is the key to conquering/pacifiying Tamriel.
