That illustration of the City has really gotten under my skin (in a good way 
) and I've been thinking about making a series of nice computer-rendered maps to start building up ideas for an adventure location. It would be nice if I knew more about the original site from the Blackmoor campaign before I started, but I'm afraid all I can glean comes solely from the FFC.
I plan on having the site described as a strange impact crater, inside of which are boletoform structures (essentially a mass of geodesic domes of glass or plexiglass on broad columns or pillars, with a globe-surmounted tower in the very centre of the conglomeration). We know that dragons were kept asleep there and guarded by many Balrogs, and that there was some artefact which, among other possible functions, kept the dragons in artificial hibernation. The caption states there was a "throne room", but for whom (or what!) isn't given.
Any ideas?
