Introduction
The Grand Hall of Oras is the central chamber of governance and ritual authority in Kar-Thal. Located at the heart of Darak-Kel, it serves as the seat of the Council of Kar-Thal.
History
The Grand Hall of Oras was created during the earliest phase of Kar-Thal's construction, making it one of the oldest continuously used structures in all of Orethil. Its founding followed the first assembly of elders.
Architecture
The hall is carved from the surrounding rock, with towering pillars flanking the central floor. The ceiling forms a shallow dome, its center marked by a single keystone that bears the original seal of the First Gathering.
