On the other hand, there has been little said about the Iron Throne in Dany’s chapters, and is nearly devoid of description. Only Xaro Xhoan Daxos has provided a description to Dany, saying that it was “monstrous, cold and hard” with “jagged edges”, [Daenerys III aCoK] but Dany doesn’t seem to listen his words and continues to press on for her demand for ships.

Daenerys will have to find out first-hand that the Iron Throne is a grotesquely-twisted ironwork-monstrosity that is “hellishly uncomfortable” to sit in. [Eddard XI aGoT] Anyone who attempts to sit on it comfortably would be a fool to try. [Tyrion VI aCoK] It has an imposing presence, even with one’s back turned to it, as if it’s a “great, black beast”, crouched and looming. [Epilogue aDwD]

G’ah! J- .. Just look at it!

There will be a stark contrast between what she has known and what she will soon possess. The Iron Throne will be her sole + ultimate prize of her journey, the road’s end of her destiny, her ancestral seat, the symbol of her victory. And it will be monstrous, grotesque, uncomfortable, barbed and cruel.. something that everyone seems to want. .. will she, once she has it?

While sitting on a throne that is cold and cannot be loved, the world around her has been growing ever colder..
