If we're going to talk about the  magical & alchemical  legacy Of Arduin then we're going to dive into The Lost Grimiore (Arduin Grimoire volume 4) By Dave Hargrave. This is the Grimoire that drives home the fact that Arduin is one of the most potent magical settings for original & Advanced Dungeons & Dragons first edition.  The fact is that the forty new arcane spells, conjuration’s and divine rituals, as well as a look at seven new specialty mages and their craft. Are perfectly aligned to slide into the role of NPC villain or enemy to a party of adventurers. 
The monsters bear this out as well. If you play a wizard, witch, or magic user on Arduin then this is the volume your going to want. Here the stakes get higher as the NPC villains & enemies have just as much access to thirty new potent potions, lotions and amazing alchemical concoctions. And some of these are quite potent and dangerous. 
The streets of the capital of Arduin are teaming with alien races, deodanth citizens, and much more. Just look at the back cover artwork for  The Lost Grimiore (Arduin Grimoire volume 4). 

If there is one location on Arduin of scum & villainy then its 'Dirty Dorgs' & you can bet that every third rate black wizard is going to know of this underworld resturant & bar. Here barred assasssins, banned thieves guild members, and other far more alien monsters cut deals, sell slaves, and much worse get done. This all takes place far below the streets of the capital of Arduin. 'Dirty Dorgs' is the place where some of the evil humanoid races of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons first edition's Fiend Folio meet with the humans from above. If they've got the guts to..
