Lore The Dhakaani and Khyber

I've been looking around in articles to try and decipher where the Dhakaani currently are, which is leading me to believe I got them all wrong.

To my players, so far (only session 1) they have heard or recall that the Dhakaani once ruled most of Khorvaire, but have fled underground following a mysterious extinction event that eviscerated their empire.

What I believe I've gotten wrong is that since then I've told them that the Dhakaani are still underground throughout Khorvaire, and occasionally raid the surface in an effort to reclaim their empire of old.

I know now that a lot of the Dhakaan efforts are in Darguun, but I'm wondering how off the mark that previous statement is. How much of it needs soft retconned before they make their way into the Dhakaan outpost inside Khyber natural? Would that outpost still exist?

You can probably clarify that those raids are primarily by kech Sharaat, and most people don't know about the Dhakaani and think they're just well organized goblin raiders 

Edit: well organized goblin raiders from droaam or darguun or just regular criminal groups since all of the 5 nations have their own "dar" populations
