This is a question for those of you who are a little more than intimately familiar with Greyhawk, particularly the Kingdom of Keoland, *particularly* the Kingdom of Keoland as it currently exists in Living Greyhawk.
I want to run "And Madness Followed" from Dungeon #134 as a one-shot adventure for some friends. This is NOT an RPGA event, just a casual home game. I want to set the game in Keoland, since I've rather become enamored of the setting from playing Living Greyhawk. I'm just looking for some general tips and advice as to how I can give the adventure a "Keoish" feel.
If you don't own Dungeon #134, here's a brief description of the adventure. A mad bard and her followers discover a copy of "The King in Yellow," and they're using it to summon Hastur from the Far Plane. They perform the play in three places: first a small village, then a larger town, and finally a bustling port city. Each time the play is performed, a portal to the Far Plane opens and the water of Lake Hali pours fourth. Those who've been watching the play are turned into pseudonatural creatures and run amok. The PCs have to follow the bard's trail of destruction and stop her before she achieves her goal.
The port city is probably going to be Gradsul. Since the bard is using powerful planar magic, I might have agents of the Silent Ones or the Knights of the Malagari show up to advise the PCs and keep an eye on events. Anyone have any tips on putting these, or other Keoish elements, into the scenario?
No answers. Does everyone think this is a stupid question? Or are you just not sure how to answer?

In case you've not already seen it, you may want to look at the LG Keland website:

also the LG Keoland group on yahoo:

The LG regional websites are often useful resources for this sort of thing, and the Keoland regions always had pretty good support, so I'll avoid making my usual grrr@LG rant! :)
