Some years back (maybe 10) there was a RuneQuest adventure on the internets available about ruined dwarven fortress. Fan made I suppose. I think it was something called "Harajallenburg the walking fort". Or something similiar.

I'd love to read that a again but can't find it anymore. Tried googling different spellings of the name but cant find it. Cant remember the name of the site or author. I was wondering if someone here could help me find this gem. Maybe some one has it saved?

 

Thanks

I dunno about the scenario but Harajallenburg is described in the Guide

 

Quote

Harajallenburg,
the Walking Fort
In the God Time the dwarves created many
unusual structures of war. To fight the Red
Men of Varsellintown they made an army of
these monstrous things, of which only this
one, in Genertela, is known to remain. Its
inhabitants died long ago.


Harajallenburg is a large castle,
approximately 80 yards square, made of huge
blocks of shaped stone. Its outer walls are 20
yards tall. It has stout round towers at each
corner, a great keep in the center, and other
fortifications typical of an elaborate castle.
Eight legs, two per corner, carry the castle
about the countryside. It normally rambles
along at about 6 miles per day. It has been
known to sprint as fast as a horse.


Of unusual design is the entry, which
is underneath the stone floor. To enter
Harajallenburg through the gateway one must
walk beneath it for about 100 feet, then ascend
through a staircase into the outer courtyard.
In the old days, the castle used to squat and
crush unwanted intruders.


The interior of the castle, unlike
its outside, is elaborately decorated.
Furthermore, its automatic machinery is
still active so that its internal defenses, food
making machines (if you call dwarf victuals
food), and, most importantly, mechanical
library, still function.


No one permanently inhabits the castle.
Visitors often go there. Various denizens
sneak around, trying to find a safe place to
live. On occasion outlaws or princes have
taken up residence. But most often people go
there, stay a while, and depart. Shamans have
stated that ghosts exist in the castle, although
their antecedents remain unclear. This may
have something to do with the reason why
most people leave.

Fjallhallanberg! Loved that scenario! 🙂

Might have been that. Cant really remember the exact spelling of the name. I wonder if it is still available in some dark wizards libarary? Or lost forever.
