The Throne of Balance was a site in the realm of the Force known as beyond shadows. Viewable within the Pool of Knowledge on a planet in the Maw, it granted a vision of the future in the form of a being or beings on or around the Throne. Both Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo viewed the Throne of Balance. The first time Solo viewed it, he saw a dark, armored figure ruling the galaxy and surrounded by dark acolytes, and became determined to prevent that future's fulfillment. Shortly before he died, Solo saw the Throne of Balance again, except this time with his own daughter, Allana, on the Throne, ruling justly in a time of peace.
