Indeed. The Irrigo of the Cave of the Nadir is what blocks the Law-Light of the Judgements from being enforced in the Neath. Meaning that its creation predates everything else. Indeed, assuming (as many, myself included, do) that the Neath is a result of spatial unnatural spatial distortion, the Cave of the Nadir likely predates even the whole of the Neath itself—as such an unnatural distortion would have been a violation of the Judgment Law.
And, as idle speculation, if my earlier timeline is correct (and if any of you think it's horrifically wrong, I would like to know that), it may be that the Neath was specifically created to hide Stone, so that the other Judgments would not discover the Sun's dalliance with the Bazaar.
As to the nature of the Cave of Nadir itself (at the risk of veering too far from our primary topic), I don't think we know much, save what we know generally of Irrigo. "Nadir" is a word that means "lowest point." Interpreted literally, the actual nadir of the Cave of the Nadir would be the furthest point from the Surface. Interpreted more metaphorically, it would probably refer to the Cave's nature as the source of Lawlessness in the Neath, and the place most intensely shielded from Sunlight.

I'd think the Second was negotiated by a certain master we do not mention, and he might well have been in on the sisters' trick. It feels right to me, at least -- perhaps he knew, perhaps he admired their cleverness when he found out. Perhaps he simply forgave them. I don't know the details of the second conflict involving that city, so it may be that was the greater tricky, and helping with that -- and not accepting the city -- is why a certain someone ended up not so well off. Or entirely well off, depending on how you look at it (don't look at it that way).
Fires, who so loves London, seems a likely candidate for negotiating its fall. He's very concerned with what players think of the city, after all, and he doesn't want the Bazaar to leave it, or to pull another city down atop it. Now he could just like the city, but it seems like the kind of behavior that the one to obtain the city would engage in.

Lady of Cold Steel, Lady of the Flit, Lady Alyssana Grey. A formidable woman, hard to read and slow to trust. Darkness lurks inside her.
Alts: (please direct all inquiries to Alys & say who they're for)
-Nikki, the Playful Daredevil, leading the constables on merry chases across London at every available opportunity. It's not a good robbery if you didn't get chased~
-Shylarah, waifish, wide-eyed, painfully foreign, entirely untamed. Her search for a way home now leads her to Parabola. There's something about her...
-Dr. Maxwell Thomas, a kindhearted physician who can't stand to see suffering. Moral to a fault, even to his own detriment. Unlucky in love.
I would rather be taken for a fool than deny aid where it is needed.
-Angie, the Cheeky Sharpshooter. Got her start with the Regiment and proudly operated their cannon for years. Rowdy, rough, and among the best shots in London.
