Elden Ring's latest patch tried to sneak a big 'ole chair into a boss arena like we wouldn't notice and immediately ponder the lore implications

Chair and moongazing grounds of Elden Ring.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree's latest patch seriously shook up the weapon meta and modified some of my favorite toys: Mr. Market is bullish on the Backhand Blades, Rakshasa's Great Katana, and Blind Spot ash of war, but if you're still holding on to your Swift Slash stock, you'll want to sell now. A curious change made it into the patch with no mention in the notes, however: A fine wooden throne was quietly added to Rellana's boss room, the Ensis Moongazing Grounds. What could it mean?

My theory is that this chair was always supposed to be here, but some bug or oversight led to it being absent for the first month or so after Shadow of the Erdtree's launch—see also the borked quests at Elden Ring's initial release that were fixed a month later.
