I was surprised to see that the secret base in lothen used by the dlardrageths was not really mentioned in richard baker's novels. reading the short snippet on lothen in leof got me wondering.... what is lothen like today? do the elves returning care at all that this ancient ruined city is populated by orcs? how are the orcs organized adn is there anymore information given so that i could possibly run an adventure there.

It may have been a published idea from another designer, and Richard just couldn't "fit" it into his trilogy. On the other hand, the remains of the Daemonfey need a base now, so perhaps Lothen was intentionally ignored in the trilogy?

i was under the impression that there was no remaining dlardrageth feyri force

It appears that Lothen was a precursor to Myth Glauroch...something predating the novel events. I would have enjoyed seeing the Mistmaster's crib getting raided by fey'ri archeologists, too. He can't get enough play, IMO.
That aside...a part of the epilogue to Final Gate showing the fey'ri retrenching in Lothen or wherever they now lurk would have gone a long way towards counterbalancing its happily-ever-after feel.
