Stand down Jon Snow, Daenerys, and Sansa. As the hit series “Game of Thrones” draws to a close, Russian authorities say they have seized the “Iron Throne.”
Traders set up a replica of the throne featured in the HBO drama in the main square of Saint Petersburg for passersby to take pictures with, city hall said Tuesday.
But during a raid, officials seized the seat, which they said was installed in the former imperial capital illegally.
They did not provide details of the throne’s location or whether it would be returned.
