throned

Placed on high

Throned means seated on or as if on a throne.

The word appears most often in literary or religious contexts describing monarchs or deities in positions of power and majesty: The king sat throned in his great hall, angels throned in glory.

By extension, anything elevated to a position of prominence or honor may be described as throned.
