Thay, Aglarond, and Rashemen.  The 3e material for this part of the world was Just So Good, there's a lot to mine here.  I'd make the plotline about the Simbul trying to resurrect herself.  From memory, the Zulkir of Enchantment knew her true name, and he was known for making intelligent weapons, that'd be a way to bring Thay into it...The Old Empires.  Gods walking the streets, mummies, a nation of annihilation cultists, and the shattered remnants of fallen earthmotes and of the dragonborn kingdoms that vanished with the Second Sundering.  This is a wild, gonzo sort of place that is unlike anywhere else in Faerun - you could do something really different and interesting here.</blockquote>
