throne-room
Seat of power
A throne-room is a ceremonial chamber where a monarch sits to receive visitors, hold audiences, and conduct formal state business.
The throne itself occupies a prominent position, often elevated on a dais.
By extension, throne-room sometimes appears as a joking euphemism for bathroom: I'll be in the throne-room.
