Your home is your castle. But as "Game of Thrones" fans — and beleaguered American homeowners — are well aware, no one's personal empire is assured. The enemy is at your gates, whether it's in the form of a bank or a demon-aided warmonger after your property. What does it take to project power in this age of insecurity? Why, just a few clicks on the Internet and $30,000.

An authentic (and pricey) replica of the Iron Throne is the latest addition to the HBO online shop, and it's a timely one given the mass hysteria over the series, which just concluded its second season of thrilling Dungeons & Dragons nerds across the landscape.

According to legend, the first head of the seven kingdoms forged the mighty chair from a thousand swords over the course of 59 days. Due to restraints of time, cost, and reality, HBO opted to hand-paint fiberglass and resin. But the seven-foot-tall chair still weighs in at 350 inadequacy-cloaking, hater-defeating pounds. And don't worry, the chair's fireproof, so you need only fear one half of what's promised in the "Song of Ice and Fire."
