Details of your scenario: The party that survives the Hoard of the Seawolf King will be asked to investigate goings on in the Duchy of Kordoth. The Duke has been murdered and the people are looking for someone to blame. Is it bandits operating out of Hunter's Edge and the Wynwood? Is it cultists from the old Temple? Or is it the new Orc King in the ruins of Castle Kordoth?

Be aware that your intro will be a "Gauntlet" adventure. A level 0 gauntlet is a meat grinder but is a great introduction to the lethality of the game. The premise is you are a peasant trying to get into the adventuring life and the gauntlet is your introduction. This also fits the theme of Shadowdark which is very much "zero to hero". You create 4 level 0 characters so you can quickly replace them when they die. A level 0 character has no class (yet) and gets a character class after emerging from the gauntlet alive.

What is Shadowdark?: Shadowdark is an old school feeling game on the 5E skeleton. Play is quicker and more lethal. Many rules are simplified for quick play. It is very much a combat as war system. PCs cannot see in the dark and lighting is a critical part of the game when dungeon diving. Players are best served by fleeing stronger enemies and creating an unfair advantage to attack them with later (traps, environmental hazards, etc..). Charging straight into every enemy you see will likely end in death.
