Tower Throne

The High Throne (Rurynote: Uyaraṇai), commonly known as the Tower Throne (paraṇaṇai), is a political and religious institution of Pytarus. It is the office and responsibility of teaching the highest insights into Arta to ensure the tolanggoly of Peruru throughout Pytarus.

As an office the Throne confers the title of Preceptor. It was first established by Thirupuyal on the foundation of Preceptoral Pytarus (though it is held that the mandate was held by earlier Rurynote rulers such as Perullam and even their legendary ancestors), and for most of that period served as a highly revered intellectual and religious authority around which the nakars of Tuntal very loosely coalesced out of their common culture. Following the War of Offices in the 12th century, the Appearance Proclamation saw the Preceptor claim powers as absolute monarch in order to stabilize politics, and renew the strength of moral guidance on a Pytarus that was now much more unified. However, the 13th-century crisis saw confidence in the monarchy evaporate, especially for the curators, who 1301 ended the Appearance with the Pytarene Rectification and appointed a more accountable Lord Protector to rule instead. The Vendirevu Court's attempts to restore official powers to the Preceptor failed after its defeat in the Kurinadu Wars, and since then the Preceptor has been a highly respected ceremonial figure.

The Tower Throne is named for a large tower (paraṇ in Pytarene architectural parlance) which the enthroned resides in, and holds sermons from. The primary physical throne has been located at the traditional center of Amedica city since Thirupuyal, though it has been renovated and rebuilt many times. It is the tallest structure in the Amedica 'old town', and within the perimeters of this district no other building is allowed to surpass its height. Owing to travel needs, however, secondary thrones have been built across Pytarus, where the enthroned may take temporary residence and teach from.
