Countless cities of gold and diamond dot the seven mounting tiers of Heaven, and each is ruled by one of the holy throne archons. Embodiments of goodly rule, nobility, and wise judgment, these celestial beings sit enthroned as the day-to-day rulers and judges of the heavenly hosts, governing multitudes of archons, angels, and mortal souls in the name of their masters, the godlike empyreal lords.
A throne archon is a towering figure ten feet or more in height, with golden skin and hair, clad in gleaming armor. Its eyes are like diamonds and shine with holy light. Throne archons seem distant due to the great cares that weigh on them, but when their attention is focused they radiate love and tranquility.
Throne archons are patrons of good and lawful rulers, and many of them are venerated as saints in good religions. On occasion, a throne archon may appear to a benevolent king or queen in desperate need and allow them to channel a portion of their holy power. Such arrangements are rare, occurring no more than once in a mortal lifetime.
