The mightiest king of the sea wolves, Skorgald, lies entombed in the sea caves, carried to Valhalla with the hoard he won in life. It’s said his rotting head rests on piles of gold, and his hands still clutch the bejeweled crosses and crowns he reaped from those he conquered.

King Skorgald will live on in legend amongst your people. You won’t… yet! Raiding is the right of the strong, and so you go to the sea caves to seize your fortune and make your name. If old king Skorgald is still worthy of his hoard, then let him rise up to defend it!

Boats full of the desperate and derranged take to the seas for Skorgald’s treasure, but the old king will not give up his gold easily.

This the first of two Shadowdark adventures, the second is ‘Raid on the Abbey of St Christopher’. You can play one or both sessions, taking your character from this game in the following one, or make a completely new character

Shadowdark is a fast and deadly dark fantasy OSR adventure game that combines the style and ethos of older style DND with the sleek design of 5E.
