Are the baernaloths known as The Demented canon or a fan-created idea?...

The Demented - baernaloths, both lawful and chaotic at once, who act as advisors to the yugoloth high-ups - are canon. They're mentioned in the baernaloth entry in Planes of Conflict.

The specific 13 Demented that Shemmy writes about are Shemmy's idea, though a few of them (two, I think) are partly inspired by canonical baernaloths.

Is Daru Ib Shamiq noted in that source (or any other canon source such as Hellbound) as being a member of The Demented?...

No. That was Shemmy's idea.

Okay, good, thanks...I almost put that in for his EotP entry, but thought I'd seek more knowledgable minds 'fore doing so...

*chuckle*

What Rip said. Of the 13 members of The Demented in my stuff, Daru was taken from canon (though he was never mentioned in connection with them, I just put a twist on his motivations in Squaring the Circle. Colin McComb read that story of mine and thought it was a pretty cool interpretation, though he didn't elaborate on if he'd have included Daru among the Demented).

I also made the Baernaloth known as 'The Wanderer', Koristal Il Palanthiin, based upon an unnamed Baern that appears as a random encounter upon the Infinite Staircase in 'Tales of the Infinite Staircase'.

I've also made hints about a Baern known as Ghoresh Ibn Shartalan linked somehow to the seal at the bottom of Ghoresh Chasm, the place itself coming from 'Hellbound: The Blood War'.
