Fallen Lapis
This city is mentioned in the Kingdom of Halta book, but very little detail is given other than that it was the capital of Ardeleth and that it was destroyed by two Sidereals using Cantata of Empty Voices as part of General Arada's attempt to demoralize the Bull of the North's allies.
In the Far Shores chronicle, the city is a dismal place. Once it was a city in the trees, like many of the Haltan allies build. Not being a Haltan city, there were also ground structures, but such were mostly the living quarters of those too poor to live in the treetops. Of course, as a capital city there were also ground structures of a fortification nature. Now, a shadowland floats in the air, seemingly held up by the twisted black redwoods, and an incessant chorus of eerie song spills forth from its restless dead. The Far Shores player characters couldn't decide whether cutting down these trees would make things worse or better, but they did make brief forays into the shadowland to bring out some of its corpses to lay to rest.
The ruler of Ardeleth has moved his capital elsewhere, giving up on the damned city, but the structures on the ground are yet home to the poor and unfortunate citizens of his kingdom who have nowhere else to go. Until recently, when General Tepet Ejava recruited them into the Vermilion Legion, there was a prison facility here, used to house Ardeleth's criminals. The General used Fallen Lapis as a launch point for a campaign to seize the rivers of Linowa as a means of ready transport in her efforts against the Bull of the North while he reputedly uses a demon-haunted mountain range in central Linowa as a base of operations there. (These are events of 769 RY in the Far Shores game.)
