|Introduction=Kar-Thal is the ancient capital and spiritual heart of [[Terasil]]. ~~Carved~~ into ~~the core of~~ the [[Citadel Mountains]], it is the largest and oldest city in Terasil and serves as the center of Duranthi civilization~~. Revered as both a city and a living embodiment of the earth, Kar-Thal reflects the values of endurance, patience, and unity with the land~~. Among the Duranthi, the density of one's stone-skin is most recognized here, and often associated with ancestral proximity to Oras.

|Geography=Kar-Thal is located deep within the Citadel Mountains, a rugged and sacred range that shelters the remnants of the original primordial realm. The city itself is vertically structured, with ~~multi-~~tiered districts built into the ~~natural~~ contours of the mountain~~. Its architecture is entirely integrated with the mountain stone, avoiding external alteration and embracing the natural flow of the rock~~.
