Born from the convergence of ancient Northern magic and winter's fiercest tempests, Storm Thrones manifested as living seats of power scattered across the highest peaks of the North. These sentient thrones of ice and ironwood emerged during the longest winter in memory, when the First Men's desperation for guidance led to a ritual binding storm essence to their sacred seats of judgment. Each throne became a nexus of Northern wisdom, forever marked by the swirling patterns of frozen gale winds etched into their surface.

Storm Thrones embody the harsh yet fair nature of Northern justice, radiating an aura of solemn authority that commands respect from all who approach. These entities possess an ancient patience, weathering centuries with the same steadfast resilience as the mountains they crown, yet demonstrate surprising warmth to those who prove worthy of their counsel. Their judgment manifests in subtle ways - temperatures dropping when displeased, calming snowfall when offering wisdom, and crackling ice when sensing deceit. Each throne develops distinct characteristics based on its location and the generations of leaders who have sought its guidance.
