My campaign is in mid 592 C.Y. at the moment and I'd like to know if any of our sage, walkers or apprentice walkers might know where she's been for the past 5 years or so. Also, any 2E stats on her?

Iggwilv's last appearance, IIRC, was in the Return of the Eight module. She makes a cameo appearance at the end of the module to place a curse on the heroes for defeating her and Lord Tuerney's plan to bring an invasion force thorugh a gate from Luna to Oerth on behalf of her son Iuz. They don't give you any stats on Iggwilv herself, other than to say her spells are at 25th level (I assume they mean she's a 25th level mage). She's been described as a sorceress and a necromancer. She's mentioned in a number of products that give you snippets of her history (S4, Iuz the Evil, Isle of the Ape, and Dragon #225 has exerpts from Iggwilv's Demonomicon first mentioned in S4). Return of the Eight occurs in CY 585.
The latest mention of her comes in Dungeon 121. She appears on the cover with her demon lover Graz'zt, absolutely one of the coolest covers Dungeon has ever had. But she does not personally appear in the related adventure, "The Fiend's Embrace."
Iggwilv has always been a master villain you never see. She manipulates things from the shadows, and the only way to defeat her is to defeat her plan.
Sorry there isn't more, hope this helps.

I have stats on her on my site although they are 3.5e stats though using that as a template you could easily convert her back to 2e for your purposes.
The site is listed below in my signature. =)

Iggwilv has also been referred to as a conjurer/summoner, due to her demonic affiliations. Given her many attributed talents, she's probably best off as a mage/wizard, rather than a specialist.
Drelnza is her only known daughter, and her status is usually either dead (killed by adventurerers) or stasis-bound as a vampire (pre-killed) in the Lost Caverns of Tsojacanth. She's apparently wholly human (except for the vampiric part), and a half-sibling at best to Iuz.
One idly wonders if Iuz has any children...a visit to Grandmother's house would be really something for them....
Cheers
Nell.

While Nellisir is quite correct, Drelnza is never explicitly named in WG6, therefore it's possible that Iggwilv may in fact have two daughters. Feel free to read through my reasoning at http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_s4.html

Interesting . . . fails to capture the essence somehow. Great read. If you went with GVD's reasoning, then you have a great backstory for Iggwilv. She's such a fixture in Greyhawk mythology, and yet very little concrete is known about her. We have stats for all the other baddies, but no tt her. And she's such a player, you almost don't want them because her you don't ever want to cross . . .
