Kar-Thal is frequently portrayed in Orasian art, though rarely in full or literal form. Instead, artists emphasize the city’s underlying geometry, mass, and silence. Resonance painters, stone-dust muralists, and sculptors often represent Kar-Thal through abstract forms—layered arches, weight-bearing columns, and partial echoes of walls and halls. Glowstone halos or mineral shadows are sometimes used to suggest the presence of sacred districts. | Kar-Thal is frequently portrayed in Orasian art, though rarely in full or literal form.

Artists from other cultures often portray Kar-Thal with more literal detail: towering subterranean gates, vast chasm-plazas, and monolithic guardians. These depictions typically emphasize scale and mystery over ritual accuracy, blending reverence with distant speculation. | Artists from other cultures often portray Kar-Thal with more literal detail: towering subterranean gates, vast chasm-plazas, and monolithic guardians.
