Liked the SoS exactly for this reason, for all the world building that came within it and honestly after this book Sapkowski can take us anywhere in the North (and maybe beyond in some scenes with different characters). The whole affair with Lytta and King Belohun was first mentioned in the SoD but just without any further significance so thinking of it I actually remember another such mention. When Geralt first saw a knocker in TLotL and Avallac'h said him to mount it, he told him about staying in Mahakam once long ago and witnessing such things as mouflon races.

By mentioning the Haak Invasion and the disappearance of elves in one sentence you created a theory in my head: what if these events are connected? Dol Blathanna and the Blue Mountains are one of the most eastern ends of the Northern Kingdoms (after all the short story is called "The Edge of the World") so logically it, along with Aedirn and Lyria and Rivia, suffered much during the invasion. And we even know that Lyria and Rivia cease to exist to the point when nobody knew where they lie...
