I figured, if I made a campaign based around the return of Iggwilv, say five years after the events of Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. Would you find it interesting to play?
FYI: She features at the end of Isle of the Apes and has a more extensive role in The Savage Tide AP. Those I know off the top of my head, but she has also been used in several other adventures.
Iggwilv is a terrific villain, and she's got all sorts of interesting links with the rise of her son, Iuz. I did a series of videos on Tsojcanth that discussed it on my YouTube channel.

Yep, I saw them. Iggwilv's motivation must be lust for power. I wanted to bring her back in my campaign, as a way to defeat Iuz. Although I must admit that my campaign is still in planning.
Iggwilv successfully summoned and seduced the demon Prince, Grazz't. She had to be both incredibly powerful and meticulous in her work - not a trait normally attributed to someone who is Chaotic Evil.
She managed to defeat Grazz't again, this time in battle, when he escaped her magical confinement. Was it skill, luck, a combination of the two?
She did not raise Iuz. She gave him to an evil human lord with lands near the Howling Hills in what is now the northern portion of the Lands of Iuz. Being half-human, Iuz has agency and could have turned out to be good, but his mother made sure he never got a chance to make that choice.
Iuz does not love, or even care for, his mother. He considers her an ally only for her power and the influence she has in the Abyss with other demons, who are potential allies. Iuz has a closer, though I wouldn't use the term 'loving', relationship with his father, Grazz't. Again, though, as the two of them are Chaotic Evil, that relationship is based on mutual benefits. Neither one has any qualms about betraying the other for personal gain.
Iggwilv lost much of her personal power (at least temporarily) from her battle with Grazz't. This caused her to lose her grip on the Yeomanry. She left Oerth at that point, presumably to avoid confrontations with powerful enemies (Zagig and the Citadel of Eight?) who might come after her in such a weakened state.
She has many powerful demons under her thumb. This is in large part because she has discovered many of their True Names. This is why she can live safely within the Abyss.
It is likely that conquering and ruling a nation within the Flanaess is no longer of interest to her. With the power she has at her fingertips (literally), what are her new goals?
