* ArtifactTitle: The lament of the lost moors is only a plot point in the first two books. Sioban is prophesied to dethrone the usurper King Bedlam by making the Lament heard when she'll raise the army of undead soldiers from the lost moors, the cursed battlefield where the army of Sioban's father was defeated. The prophecy comes true in the second second book making the title obsolete afterward. While Sioban returns to the lost moors in the fourth book, both prequel cycles don't feature them and [[ExaggeratedTrope take place before they were lost in the first place]].
