Without [Mystryl's] infusion of magic, the floating cities of Netheril fell, and Karsus was instantly slain. His bloated body petrified and toppled from the high plateau above his floating city and plummeted to earth. As his body fell, his stony eyes, still shimmering with the last glint of godly omniscience, caught a glimpse of the cities of Netheril smashing to the ground, killing all their inhabitants.
...
[Mystra] was able to save only three of Netheril’s floating cities; the rest were utterly destroyed. These three — Anauria, Asram, and Hlondath — were high enough above the ground to survive. The cities safely landed, and the survivors stumbled away from the cities in shock.
...
Some of those who traveled north followed "dream visions" and built a small city near the bleeding red stone corpse of Karsus, mistaking the former archwizard’s petrified corpse as that of a dying god. They named their city Karse in honor of the finding of their "god." Their worship of Karsus angered other nearby denizens, however, and it was widely held that the lich Wulgreth had the city destroyed in 3533 in retribution for what Karsus had done to him. Other sages, however, believe Wulgreth was busy in Ascalhorn trying to destroy what remained of Netheril, piece by piece, patiently enacting his revenge...

I could be completely wrong, but I vaguely remember the Interactive FR Atlas has a map of Karse.

I'll have to install the software and check though.

Let me know if you find it on there. I have the Atlas at home as well, so if you see it, I will look it up as well (or at elast try to remember to look it up on my own anyways).

Markus it was the pituitary gland. :)

I played in that adventure and when the tarasque came up, I was mortified. I had primarily 3e experience (this was a 2e game), so when we as 10th level PCs were supposed to steal it's gland, I was sure that we were doomed.

Apparently, not so scarey in 2e.

Can it be made of red marble? Black marble with blood red (or Mystryl blue) veins? Or is the stone already described somewhere as being granite?

Those look very cubical. It makes me wonder if the pyramids were supposed to be cubes but the builders ran out of stone.

There's a lot of cool looking rock formations on google. I personally like the weirdly improbable ones (like this or this), my logic is that Karsus must somehow appear "godly" and unnatural ("His bloated body petrified and toppled from the high plateau above his floating city and plummeted to earth") ... another great option is the classic huge broken stone statue (which often looks something like Buddha or Zeus or one of these guys).
