King Aerys II Targaryen was cut so many times that he became known as "King Scab". According to Septon Eustace, an armor-clad Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen was seen with cuts on her legs and left hand after sitting the throne for the first time, which led some to believe she had been rejected by it. King Viserys I Targaryen cut his left hand to the bone after stumbling, and Maester Gerardys had to remove two fingers to save his life. The Iron Throne is known for being dangerous to its occupants. Even after three hundred years, some of the blades are still sharp enough to cut. The points of the twisted blades fan out like talons from arms of the throne. Aegon I intended for it to be uncomfortable, believing that "a king should never sit easy". īecause of the fanged steel behind, it is impossible to lean back on the iron seat of the Iron Throne. It can be reached by climbing steep iron steps in the Great Hall, and the small council has a table at the base of the throne. The Iron Throne is located on a high platform in the throne room within the Red Keep. Martin has described the Iron Throne as "massive", "ugly", and "asymmetric".
According to the songs, it took a thousand blades to make. The throne was constructed by Aegon I Targaryen from the melted, twisted, beaten, and broken blades surrendered by his enemies, or wrenched from the hands of the dying. The Iron Throne is an asymmetric monstrosity of spikes and jagged edges and twisted metal. The Iron Throne - by Jake Murray © Fantasy Flight Games
