The diamond throne

The text reads: "The legendary floating throne of diamonds, which bears its terrible curse carved into it as it soars unfathomably through the heavens."
the message on the chair says: "whoso sitteth upon me shall carry the world upon their shoulders, but be unknown to all men."
The throne of diamond is a mysterious relic from an earlier age, and is held aloft by magics none can fathom. Some scholars believe that it is proof that there was a race of sky-dwelling beings before the dawn of man, but few give the theory credence.
There have been no reports of anyone trying to sit on it, but given the nature of its curse, this is hardly surprising.
