Long unused, this room is completely covered in dust. Alnette has never been in this room, and it is likely she does not yet know of it's existence.

The large wooden doors creaked open, and Remus stepped into the Throne Room. His scanners picked up no signs of life or movement. He walked towards the empty throne where somebody of great importance must have sat at one point.
The stain glass windows had some broken holes in them, where light beams coming from the moon were shining through. Remus inspected the throne, running his finger along the arm rest, picking up the dust.
Remus wondered if the Baroness or the Baron were aware of this room's existence.

Atop the throne perched a dark, feathered figure, watching Remus with eyes that contrasted greatly with its form.
The raven shifted its weight on its perch and waited.

Remus sensors started catching static. The anomaly in question was a bird perched on the throne. Remus wondered how a bird could cause so much static when it dawned on him.
"Lady Emma." Remus acknowledged the Enchantress.

Remus.
She was unsure whether his mind would pick up her message, but she could hope.
Warm brown eyes glittered as she peered down at the Imperator, and the static lessened.

Remus picked up Emma's thoughts and nodded.
"I see you found this room as well. It looks like Alnette hasn't done much with this place. I wonder if she knows it even exists."

She does not. I don't sense any large life forms having been in here for years. Rats, moths, but nothing bigger.
She fluttered down to the arm of the throne, folding her wings upon landing.

Remus scanned the room, looking for anything of interest, but found nothing. The whole room was practically empty and bare excpet for the throne and a few tattered tapestries hanging from the ceiling.
"I wonder if we should let her know? Maybe she could make use of it."

Perhaps.
Violet light enveloped the raven and Emma nimbly jumped down from the throne, the last traces of feathers vanishing as she hit the ground.

Remus began to inspect the throne further, looking to see if there was some sort of switch or control panel, but he couldn't find anything. This throne was rather...primitive compared to the Imperator's own seat of power back home.
"Want to do some exploring, Emma? Maybe we can find something interesting."

"Sounds like a plan."
She had never possessed a throne...but she had stood behind a few in her time.
England had been hers for a few years every century, and it was she who had stood behind the throne.
She had even tried Spain for a month and found it tiresome.

Remus walked along the wall, pushing on bricks and feeling for gusts of air or things that may have been out of place. He switched over many different view modes.
"I can't find anything out of the ordinary. I guess it is just an empty throne room after all."

"It could be. But let me try my methods."
She walked to the center of the throne room, holding her arms by her sides, posture relaxed.
A wind sprang up, caressing the walls of the throne room and kicking up tiny whirlwinds of dust as Emma's magic rode the breeze, searching for anything.
"There was power here once."

(( Sorry for the long reply. I was filling out a job application. ))
Remus shivered, despite his unfeeling metallic body.
"A power you say? Like political power or was it some other force?"

Emma's brow furrowed as her eyes closed. The elf's senses were alight, still searching.
"...both, I believe. Political power and something more akin to my own."
But not quite.
