{{main|Iron Throne}}
There are six cells of Gondians, each with a lever that releases them, as well as one Gondian who is strapped to a chair that must be released. There are thirteen hostages, excluding the two controllable characters. Within the Iron Throne [[Sahuagin]] are lurking and more spawn over time. Once the Gondians have been released, they make a dash for the submersible. When all four party members have returned to the submersible, then the mission ends, and those trapped on the Iron Throne perish. '''The party has only 6 turns to save the Gondians''', 8 on Explorer [[difficulty]], or 5 on Tactician difficulty.  
There are thirteen Gondian hostages in the Iron Throne, who must be allowed to run to the submersible, by opening their cells and protecting them from the [[Sahuagin]]. Not all of them must actually be saved in order to ally with the Gondians. [[Ulder Ravengard]] and [[Omeluum]] may also be found here as part of their respective quests.
 
==== Saving Duke Ravengard ====
Duke Ravengard can only be saved if Gortash's coronation has been attended. If [[Wyll]] has been recruited, it is highly recommended to speak to him after the coronation, and then return to camp to see [[Mizora]]'s bargain, as part of [[The Blade of Frontiers]] and [[The Grand Duke]]. Wyll does ''not'' have to accept Mizora's new pact to save his father, but doing so makes it easier.
 
Duke Ravengard is in the block of cells directly east from the ladder to the submersible. He is in the middle cell, and has only 35 HP. He will also have the Fiendish Obeisance status, unless Wyll wasn't recruited. Upon opening the door to his cell, the party gains control over the Duke's movements. However, once he leaves the cell, if Wyll broke his pact with Mizora, then she appears and summons multiple [[Combustion Belly Spiderling|Combustion Belly Spiderlings]] to kill the duke. She orders him to kneel while the spiderlings explode on their turn. The Duke can be saved by healing him while he is in his cell (via [[Healing Word]], throwing healing potions, or other tactics) or through spells like [[Arcane Gate]].
 
==== Saving Omeluum ====
If [[Steal a Githyanki Egg]] was resolved without [[Lady Esther]] receiving an egg, then [[Omeluum]] is trapped in the Iron Throne. He is strapped in a chair in the southwestern corner of the area. Next to him on the table is a Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen. Omeluum has a teleportation spell that allows him and another ally to get back to the submersible quickly, which makes him a lower priority to rescue.
