The Sovereign Throne

Your patron is a king maker, an emperor-creator, and is the architect behind some of the greatest, if not most terrifying, rulers existence ever has ever known. This Sovereign Throne beckons and yearns for a worthy successor. Indescribably ancient, this being has watched over and guided monarchs into the brightest of golden ages and through the blackest of dark ages. You've made a pact with the Throne, swearing to rule as its keeper, though the price for that power will undoubtedly be paid in blood.

Expanded Spell List

The Sovereign Throne let you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

	Sovereign Throne Expanded Spells
Spell Level	Spells
1st	command, sanctuary
2nd	silence, zone of truth
3rd	phantom steed, spirit guardians
4th	compulsion, Leomund's secret chest
5th	dominate person, legend lore

Chosen Heir

Beginning at 1st level, your patron has bestowed upon you the mark of succession. You gain the light, minor illusion, and thaumaturgy cantrips, which count as warlock cantrips for you, and do not count against your number of cantrips known. All of which you can cast only requiring verbal components.
When you cast either, you can manifest your patron's mark, be it a spectral crown, a glow around your sword, or glossed eyes, and gain advantage on Charisma checks for the next minute against all creatures within 60 feet of you who witnessed this manifestation, as they recognize your royal authority.
Once you manifest your patron's mark this way, you can't gain its benefits again until you finish a short or long rest.

Seat of Power

Starting at 1st level, your patron manifests in your mind, calling your name and bestowing you power in its image. Choose a throne, or roll a d20, on the Thrones of Power table to determine the material composition of your patron.
In addition, you learn a language corresponding to your patron found on the Thrones of Power table. Your patron communicates to you in this language.

	Thrones of Power
d20	Throne Material	Language
1	Aberrant	Deep Speech
2	Bestial	Druidic
3	Bone	Any
4	Conventional	Any Standard or Undercommon
5	Cosmic	Telepathy (30 feet)
6	Elemental	Primordial
7	Flesh, Ichor, Sinew	Infernal
8	Light	Celestial
9	Mechanical	Modron
10	Nature	Sylvan
11	Oil, Shadow, Sludge	Abyssal
12	Precious Metals (Gemstones)	Draconic or Slaad (Gem)
13	Crystal, Glass	Sphinx
14	Magical Force	Giant
15	Fur	Gnoll
16	Coins	Thieves' Cant
17	Candle	Witchtongue
18	Porcelain	Deception
19	Food	Goblin
20	Snow, Ice	Yeti

Fated Trial

By 6th level, the trials you face have become more adverse — tests of fate to prove you are worthy.
When you would fail a saving throw, you can reroll the saving throw, except this time you make a Charisma saving throw instead as your force of will tries to endure this trial.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Indomitable Presence

At 10th level, you have advantage on Charisma saving throws. When you would succeed on a Charisma saving throw, you can use your reaction to cause the creature who forced you to make the saving throw to become frightened of you until the end of their next turn.
Additionally, choose one Charisma skill of which you are proficient. You gain expertise with the chosen skill, doubling your proficiency bonus for ability checks you make that use the chosen skill.

The King's Domain

At 14th level, you rise to the standard your patron expects of its chosen monarch and claim domain over one school of magic. Choose one of the following schools of magic: abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, or transmutation.
You can expend a warlock spell slot to cast any 5th-level spell or lower from the chosen school of magic. The spell can be from any spell list, and counts as a warlock spell for you while you are casting it.
Once you cast a spell using this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Creating a Throne You can talk with your DM to create your own throne, with its own language, if the current list doesn't have a specific throne you wish to utilize. The conventional throne might resemble an extravagant wooden, iron, or stone seat, unique in its own way, while the bestial throne may consist of one giant beast, hundreds of ravens, snakes, spiders, or any other various tiny beasties. The elemental throne can take form of any element, while the precious metals throne has just as much freedom. You can choose more than one throne material, but only choose one as the primary material. You gain only one language from your throne with the Seat of Power feature. Additionally, any material you create when summoning your throne, via Invocations, can't be used as material components. Trading or gifting pieces of this material renders it valueless. Upon your death, any materials created this way erodes and scatters away.

Traits of the Sovereign Throne

Those who make their pact with the Sovereign Throne rise to the stature of a leader. The Throne slowly and carefully cultivates the sapling that you are to become a champion among mortals. When you first make your pact, or over time as you become more of a ruler, you may select a trait, or roll a d20, on the Sovereign Throne Traits table.

Invocations: The Sovereign Throne

Roleplaying A Thronelock Your patron could be a family throne, sentient with the spirits of former rulers, and overthrown by usurpers. Perhaps your patron is a prophetic empty throne that each child must sit upon to determine the next king; no reaction until you came along. Maybe your patron has a fiend sitting upon it and has tasked you to replace it. Or your patron could be cursed and locked away in a demi-plane. It has tasked many to free it, and he who does becomes king of an entire world.
