|Introduction=Darak-Kel, known as the "Echo Seat," 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-making, and ancestral continuity. This district is regarded not merely as a seat of authority, but as a resonant chamber through which the will of stone is interpreted and enacted. | |Introduction=Darak-Kel, known as the "Echo Seat," is the political and ceremonial heart of Kar-Thal.

|Function=The district functions as the locus of civic decision-making, ritual pronouncement, and intergenerational stewardship. Within its halls, the [[Council of Stone]] deliberates beneath ancestral effigies and memory-stones. Major legal and ritual decrees are inscribed upon oath-steles, which are ritually harmonized to preserve civic memory through resonance. | |Function=The district functions as the locus of civic decision-making, ritual pronouncement, and intergenerational stewardship.
