Dave Arneson worked with Dave Richie on DA1-3. His contract with TSR gave him the right to review all Blackmoor material before it was published, but DA4 was published before he was able to review. So, that was most of his problem with that module. I am also sure that he objected to the fact that the Ran of An Foo, the leader of one one of Blackmoor's major enemies, was not even mentioned in the module. All the rest of this discussion on Dave's plans for the Afridhi is just speculation. I have no idea what his future plans for the Afridhi were.

Thanks for your insight on this Greg! I knew Arneson was consulted on the DA modules, but didnt know exactly what that entailed.

Good point about the Ran. That makes alot of sense. The Blackmoor Fan Gazetteer also asks what happened to him. It assumes him to have died during the invasion, but it seems unlikely IMO.

Yeah, the discussion of the Afridhi were just speculation on my part. I have been rereading DA4, and I am surprised at how little we actually learn about the Duchy of Ten in the module. Most of the information given is on the Afridhi conquerors...
