Your lantern burns an enchanted oil which casts a warm glow that protects you from the n o xious Smog of Ethandun . Huddled within the circle of light ¸ you advance into the barren arratu and follow the ancient stone road along the river bank . Presently the river snakes around a low hill which you mount to discover scattered stone ruins. Now knee high at most¸ the rubble of the walls show s where a keep and a small settlement once stood. Your map identifies this spot as the site of the ancient castle of Cyneburg. Searching among the ruins¸ you notice a faint glow rising up from the ground into the surrounding smog. You approach and find a trap door in the flagstones ¸ flung open to reveal a stairway spiralling down. A light emanates from below and the air down there appears clear¸ as if something prevents the toxic purplish mists from penetrat ing under ground. You gather your courage and descend the stairway in to the depths.
The Lost Souls of Ethandun is an adventure for 1st-3rd level characters. The module is written for Worlds Without Number¸ and could be converted for use with other OSR systems. The scenario comprises four parts: 1) Burggeat (The Gatehouse)¸ 2) Cyneburg (The Castle)¸ 3) Hearg (The Temple)¸ and 4) The Hive.
