It looks like for a lot of the factions, like the Seekers for example, that work's already been done and baked into the flavour text. I'll be going through them to edit and revise as needed, but so far, so good. This will certainly cut down the amount of work needed to get the book text finished and speed the process up considerably.
Just an update, I'm now onto the minor factions in this book and then I'll be looking at the Game of Bones to round it out.
I've decided that I'd rather present the gods and magic of the dark elves as a seperate tome so I can add a few extra twists to dark elf magic at the same time.

Dark Fey
More nomadic even than House Devoren, the loose association of dark elves known collectively as the Dark Fey wander the Underdeep unconstrained by any sense of civilisation, turning from away from dark elven society to embrace the ancient roots of their race.
Background
The Dark Fey are the true free spirits of the dark elves, dark elves who have abandoned the culture of their people and sought instead a return to the fae roots of their people. Unburdened and unbounded by culture, society and civilisation, they have embraced chaos and disorder.
There are those who argue the Dark Fey have always been present, part and parcel of the dark elves and a throwback to their fey heritage. Others argue the Dark Fey are a more recent development. Many believe they not what they seem to be at all, but instead are an aspect of the Darkling Sky (see page XX), determined to lure dark elves away from proper worship of the dark elven pantheon.
One reason there is so much confusion about the Dark Fey is because of the very nature of its people. They are predisposed to tricks, lies and deceit, with just enough truth thrown in to make it impossible to know when one of them is speaking honestly. They are not fond of speaking to other dark elves, let alone educating them, and every dark elf who has attempted to learn the truth about the Dark Fey has come away with a radically different story. Even the name is something imposed on them from without, as the Dark Fey are not the sort to allow themselves to be categorised together in a single group.
In fact, the Dark Fey were ‘founded’ in the years following the Sundering. Years of endless privation, misery and fear drove some of the dark elves utterly mad. While many of these insane dark elves were used as sacrifices to the gods, others wandered off into the Underdeep. Very few of these dark elves survived any significant length of time in the trackless Underdeep, but some endured through the perils. There was one, a male dark elf with no name he ever gave, who would wander into dark elven cities from time to time, speaking of the majesty of the Underdeep and the secrets it had taught him, now that he had thrown off his old life and embraced his fey roots.
His words struck a chord in the hearts of a very few dark elves who gave up their lives in dark elven society and struck out into the wilds of the Underdeep. Like those before them, few survived, but there were enough who endured the dangers to form a loose association.
The Dark Fey, as they soon came to be known, were quickly branded heretics by the cults of the dark elves and ceased coming anywhere near the dark elven cities. Still, from time to time, a dark elf would choose to abandon his life and station in dark elven society and strike out into the Underdeep to join them. Only those who truly sought to become the Dark Fey have ever managed to locate the others; the many cult-sponsored attempts to destroy them have always met with utter failure.
Culture
Every member of the Dark Fey is at least a little bit mad. Whether he was made so by magic, by too much drug use or even by witnessing and partaking in rituals that broke his sanity seems to make no real difference. Upon leaving behind his old life and seeking out the Dark Fey, the dark elf also usually leaves behind his old name, taking up a new appellation upon joining the Dark Fey.
The Dark Fey are devoted to the Underdeep. They consider it their natural domain, and see themselves as students and shepherds of its trackless depths. They believe the life they lead, of utter freedom and complete self-determination, is the natural lifestyle for the dark elves, and feel sorrow for those dark elves still trapped in their stinking cities by the oppressive grasp of greedy beings masquerading as gods.
The goal of a Dark Fey is to become attuned to his fey roots, to that element of faerie which still resides deep in the soul of every dark elf. They have embraced the trickster aspect of the fey, but not in the benign spirit of many faeries of the surface. They entrap and destroy wanderers in the Underdeep, deceiving travellers with false paths and cunning traps, leading them to their doom. This, they believe, is the essence of the Underdeep, and they honour it by destroying those who do not understand. Malicious and mischievous, they believe all races other than themselves are trespassers in the Underdeep.
The Dark Fey contain the only significant number of nature worshipping priests in the lands of the dark elves. Many members of the Dark Fey are multi-classed, having abandoned their old profession to take up the path of the druid upon joining the Dark Fey. There are some sorcerers in its ranks, as well as explorers and thieves.
The Dark Fey have no central organisation, no leaders and no servants. They wander the Underdeep in small numbers, meeting once every year to drink, celebrate and copulate. Each year the meeting is in a different place, yet each year the dark elves of the Dark Fey know exactly where to go.
The other races of the Underdeep consider the Dark Fey to be more like a natural hazard than an enemy, just as likely to ignore an unprotected trading caravan as they are to attack it. Though chaotic slightly mad, the Dark Fey are not stupid, and will not engage in a fight they cannot win, unless there is no other choice.
Place in Society
The Dark Fey have no position in dark elven society, as they have divorced themselves from it entirely, eschewing all of its trapping and conventions, even their own names, to live as they believe the dark elves should.
When rumours of the Dark Fey first reached the ears of other dark elves, they were ignored as inconsequential. As time passed, however, and the rumours continued, the clergy of most dark elven cults denounced the Dark Fey as heretics, and the faithful among the dark elves began to hunt them. It proved all but impossible to find, let alone capture, the Dark Fey, and innumerable hunting parties returned empty-handed. Fearing they would look like fools if they continued the search, the clergy of the various dark elven gods ceased to hunt the Dark Fey, publicly dismissing them as meaningless. Though they are still considered heretics, the dark elves cults no longer concern themselves with trying to destroy the Dark Fey.
For their part, the Dark Fey studiously avoid the cities of the dark elves, knowing that to enter one would mean capture and, most likely, sacrifice to one of the false gods worshipped by their benighted kin.
Religion
Most of the Dark Fey have no true religion in the traditional sense of the dark elves. Rather, they believe the entire world is occupied by various spirits, and that the Underdeep itself is one enormous spirit. They attempt to communicate with this spirit, to carry out its wishes and understand its mind. They believe that the nature priests of the Dark Fey receive their spells directly from this being.
The Dark Fey believe the true nature of the dark elves lies in the race’s fey roots, and that only by embracing the vestiges of faerie that remain within them can they become what they were meant to become.
There are some Dark Fey, presumably the less insane of their number, that continue to worship the dark elven god Kez’Skul, the Trickster. At the Games Master’s option, it may be that Kez’Skul is responsible for the creation of the Dark Fey themselves, that he has deceived the ultimate deceivers into worshipping him unwittingly.

Part of the Game of Bones, prepare to use the new Intrigue skill from Sheoloth, a lot!
Intelligence Gathering
There are times when it is best to simply sit tight and figure out what everyone else is doing, and how what they are doing impacts you. This action enables you to try and figure out what actions are directed at your Noble House and what immediately threatens your forces.
Influence Requirement: 1,000
Power Requirement: None
Cost: 500 SP, 1,000 Influence
Time: One week
Skill/Difficulty: Intrigue (Routine)
Success Result: If this test succeeds, you discover one action that will occur in the next month and is targeted at your Noble House or your areas of control. For every 10% by which your result is lower than your skill test Difficulty, you learn of another plot. If this action is used more than once in the same time period, different actions will be discovered by each use if there are additional actions to be discovered. For example, if you have a skill of 80% and you roll 50% you’ll discover 3 actions against you if there are that many of course.
Failure Result: You discover one false action targeted against you.

I think a lot of people will be interested in that particular project - Houses of the Dark Elves is tightly tied to the Sheoloth setting, but new cults and new magic can be used in MANY settings...
What I've done with Houses of the Dark Elves is to reference Sheoloth, but you don't actually need to play in the city to use Houses. You can use Houses in any kind of dark elf setting, or use them as enemies in any setting that has dark elves as a component.
Sheoloth has its own set of houses and tends to have the Dark Mother as the primo deity, here you've got a slew of dark elf gods and goddesses as well as a bunch of houses you can pop anywhere.

That sounds good to me 
Yeah, it's why there's very little Sheoloth info in Houses since I really wanted it to be used as a stepping stone for GMs etc. The Dark Mother is just one of a myriad of dark elven gods, including some pretty neat ones I want to bring into play - perhaps a few of my own from the cutting room floor as well.
With magic, I really want to introduce some new magic types into play that would suit the dark elves.

With Darren's work we can normally move very quickly and get everything wrapped up in less than a week. We have some big projects on the move at the moment, though, so we are looking for gaps to slide it in. Fingers crossed we make it for this month but, at worse, it would be early June.
Thanks Matthew, I'll be looking at concepting Gods and Magic of the Dark Elves pretty soon as well, from then on I just really need to cherry pick what makes interesting magic and definitely convert the bone crafting from the drow book into Legend.
It will go nicely with the shadow craft from Sheoloth for definite.
I would love to work on another city book (for something) of course.
