Honest to God, yeah, the Dweomer from TES predate this concept for a good ten years - they surface as early as Daggerfall, I think, in 1997, and have fairly prominent roles in nearly all games thereafter, but mainly in "Morrowind".
Even so, I think the idea is pretty interesting - BM has some possibilities for a proper Underdark setting; that we don't have ellaborated sources about its use (the Tonnisborg documents were lost, as were most of the dungeons from Mount Uberstar) doesn't mean that there is no potential in the idea.
...Now, myself, given the practical realities, I would probably rather use a different background than a dark-Dwarf/Scandinavian setup, and do something based around the proto-Eastern cultural backfrop that we find in the Peshwa territory, and around the Dragon Hills. ...But in any case, the potential to build something big here is certainly there. :)
