However, even fans of the books haven’t been given a completely clear understanding of the Iron Throne, at least according to Anne Groell, who recently worked with Martin as the editor for the illustrated edition of A Game of Thrones.
In fact, the way the Iron Throne is actually supposed to look may not be what you have been visualizing in your head.
It’s a known fact that the Iron Throne that was created for HBO’s Game of Thrones pales in comparison to the throne that George R.R. Martin made up in the pages of his popular book series.
