what do you think happened to the Old Ones, liches of the Grand Cabal of Illusk, now that Arcane Brotherhood is destroyed and Netheril is back?

were they trapped somehow before, I can't recollect the source where I read this years ago ...

-I have two suggestions:

  • Spellplague

  • The have gone elsewhere, freed and seeking to bring some town, some city, some region under their control, that has been weakened in some way since 1375 DR.

They are possibly still there in the Host Tower Arcane and the dungeons beneath it. The 4e FRCG says it is haunted by undead and that greater threats are entombed below.

yeah likely trapped there via lareal's wards that were deactivated by whats his name and were reactivated by the spell plague..

what was the nature of these wards, what I remember they weren't actually in the tower, were they extradimensional, kinda like the demiplane of imprisonment ?

maybe these liches have a planar network of Hosttowers, and they're similar to quori and have to work through intermediaries like Greeth. They're opposed by the Covenant or Nchaser

Beyond Laeral (possibly with help, don't recall either way) having put them up and Greeth partially cracking them, I don't recall much being mentioned on the nature of the wards themselves, if anything of any real substance.

That's disappointing.

Circa 1378/79: The Brotherhood's been scattered. The Hosttower is nothing but rubble now. Greeth was destroyed and his soul returned to his phylactery, which is in the possession of a former subordinate whom if I recall Greeth turned into an undead (against her will) prior to his demise.

Good to know, my campaign made a full year circle back to Luskan (1376 DR), I'm expecting some necronomicon sfuff from our dm with this, whisperings of mad liches and all

I'd imagine the liches would have sought a new refuge for their necromantic research. They might have joined the Twisted Rune for they hold control of several portals around the Realms. Eventually the liches would drift towards areas with enough living and dead bodies to sustain their projects but with portals to graveyards or battlefields they can still safely stay away from prying eyes.

But they can't get out from whatever they're in.
