Introduction:
Darak-Kel is the political and ceremonial heart of Kar-Thal. Anchored around the sacred Great Hall of [[Oras]], it serves as the core site of governance, oath-taking, and ancestral continuity.
Function:
The district functions as the locus of civic decision-making, ritual pronouncement, and stewardship. Within its halls, the [[Council of Kar-Thal]] deliberates beneath ancestral effigies.
History:
Founded at the inception of Kar-Thal, Darak-Kel has remained unchanged in form and function for centuries. Darak-Kel resists alteration as a deliberate act of continuity. It has borne witness to every major oath, law, and proclamation since the city's founding and served as the ceremonial axis of the [[Duranthi]].
Notable Locations:
* [[Grand Hall of Oras]]: The central chamber where the Council of Kar-Thal convenes. Its basalt columns are tuned to amplify spoken words, allowing declarations to reverberate across the chamber. * [[Kel-Vorun]]: A secluded chamber used for the sealing of ancestral pacts and oaths. Designed to capture and repeat vows whispered into its walls. * [[Tharakul]]: A series of terraced platforms carved into the bedrock, used for public pronouncements and ritual ascents during times of civic renewal.
Cultural Practices:
Access to Darak-Kel is tightly controlled. While the inner sanctum is restricted to officials, citizens may gather in outer halls to listen to announcements of council proceedings.
