why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power
that is true. however it was the city of shade that wiped it out this time. for it to be rebuilt if any survivors would have to contemplate whether it would be worth it.
shade is gone, so it could get started if the iirc bandits there wanted to rebuild it.

I think the simplest thing is to have it in the process of rebuilding. Just like the old Ruins of Zhentil Keep box. That way there is a map pre-made :P
