Heh. Way to bring me back from the forests of Meleon, my dear viking. I am kind of doing that - running "young Uther" adventures, that is - since 2012:
When I returned to Germany, people who knew about my involvement with Blackmoor asked me to run a few classic scenarios. My approach was to reverse-engineer those scenarios, taking the classic frame, and filling the gaps with stuff from the LFC.
Not sure how much in detail I explained the Firewater and Glendower adventures in that regard, but they were just that: Uther is a bastard relative of Baron Fant, and a squire of Willem of the Heath, and later of the Great Svenny. Robilar and Svenny become his greatest teachers, and when Fant becomes a vampire, Uther is the one who slays him.
Very in sync with T. H. White, very similar to the German Warringham novels.
Firewater ended, in all three instances we played the scario, with the party meeting a young farmer turned lancer, with the name of Sven Svenson, FWIW.
