Is this room part of a questDon't be surprised if this is some sort of lore reference. Maybe not from any books or comics now, but perhaps some day we'll read something that points us here.

I'm figuring it's a reference to the Conan the Barbarian movie where Conan finds his sword (supposedly Atlantean) in a sepulchral throne room.

Yeah thats been there since the original launch. And it is from Conan, specificly the tomb he falls into while running away from wolves and where he gets his sword.
On a side note, in the books, that sword is cursed an he actually leaves it in the tomb.

And if you crank up the ambient volume real loud and turn your ear to the speakers you can hear someone whisper: "Illll... beeeee... baaaaack...."

Are you just pulling my leg or what?
That would be fun, but I remain skeptical. I haven't been in the forgotten throne room in ages, but it might be fun to drop by again. In fact, I just watched The Destroyer again this last weekend. How fitting!

Now, if only we could TAKE that sword...that would be awesome...
