SpoilerThis is kind of weird of me to say, but the fade? I looked at this drawing when I was out of focus and I saw an eye.
Like the entire thing being an eye. The pupil, the iris, the cornea (figuratively, it's the transparent dome over the front of the eye, it shields the eye from dust, so.. the bricks in the picture), perhaps the limbal ring? And the sclera, which is another protective part of the eye. Oh oh and the Black City is the lens behind the pupil!
I'm being silly though.
Anyhow, even though these eyes appear to be related to Fen'Harel (the tower card) I think they speak of the Nightmare demon's domain (the Nightmare demon.. has.. a lot.. of eyes).
Perhaps the fade has a layered construction. The first layer can be entered by the dreamers and mages (the bricks are there to symbolize the passage between these worlds). There are two layers beyond that, the first one appears to be constructed of lots of tiny bricks, so sort of the difference between being there an unknowning dreamer and being there as a mage (who used lyrium) or a Dreamer (like.. those special mages)
The inner layer is the physical layer, can be entered if we go through the veil. Within it are domains of demons, spirits etc. and in the middle the Black City. I think it has stars around it to symbolize how unreachable it is.
And here I thought it was Thedas... The fade probably makes more sense.
