I've recently read some fluff about a flawed Silver Throne created by a loyal member of the AdMech during the Horus Heresy, and very scarce references to an Ork Throne. Can anyone enlighten me?

As both Humans and Orks are supposedly races that the Old Ones created or had their evolution guided by, is it possible they are Old One devices, and other Old One created races have Thrones too? Is there an Eldar Throne? A Jokaero Throne? Rashan and K'nib Thrones?

As the Eldar are the most technically advanced race, is there a possibility they, or the Dark Eldar have posession or knowledge of their own Throne? Are there multiple Thrones per race? What happened to the Ork Throne in the end?

In the new Admech codex there is reference to the admech trying to fix the Golden Throne, and finding answers in Commarragh. Not sure about other races having similar technology, but if anyone knows how to keep someone alive longer then usual it's the Dark Eldar.

Within the fluff though, the Golden Throne wasn't originally a life-support system, and was only converted to that purpose by the dying Emperor. It seems more like it was originally a kind of Warp-interface than anything else.

The Silver Throne served a similar purpose, and from what I've heard about the Ork Throne, it was used to massively power up an Ork Warboss, so they seem more like devices that use the Warp to bestow immense power or knowledge on individuals of their specific races.

If they are Old One artifacts, this makes sense as the entire nature of them creating/guiding Warp-sensitive client races was so they would be able to use the power of the Warp against the Necrons, who couldn't interact with it.
