This is a nonlinear adventure module for Vagabonds of Dyfed ¸ but is easily convertible to most OSR systems. It's best suited for three or more low-level player characters¸ and can take upwards of ten sessions to complete¸ although expeditious groups could certainly complete it faster.
In this adventure¸ the PCs become entangled in a contest between three factions battling for control over an ancient and abandoned dwarven ruin: Svartalyd (which some translate as "deep sound" or "deep knell"). This adventure features giants¸ undead dwarves¸ ancient weapons of magical mass destruction¸ cabals of cannibalistic druids¸ political hate triangles¸ stranded wizards¸ fort sieges¸ and more.
