One can admire the full splendor of the island from this vantage point. And the full extent of its infection by the Malaise.

The Throne Room is the room of the King of the island, guarded by the final boss, The Hand of the King.

This room has a strange, enchanted beauty to it. While decay of the island is fully visible below, one may find a calm and serene beauty in it all. The beautiful starry sky is visible, and a fountain slowly pours its heart out. The main feature, of course, is the throne, with the King silently sitting... Dead silent. Just before him watches the Hand of the King, ever vigilant. In your time of appreciating the beauty, he has spotted you... And you're an intruder. A spell fizzles around the king in a protective matter, and the massive man(?) charges forth towards you. He roars at you. One more enemy to finish off to complete your goal... But what's one more to a thousand? Sooner or later, after you turn his body into broken flesh... It's the king next. And then, it is time to make it all change.
