So I've been Dming a party and we had finished City of Golden Death, and after reading Varnhold vanishing I though it was way cool sounding. I wanted to know if it was possible to slip my party into this adventure path without messing up the feel of the adventure.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe have the PCs summoned by the Swordlords of Restov (having already proven their talents elsewhere) and ask them to find out what happened to the nearby settlement of Varnhold (perhaps with a subquest of mapping the region for the Swordlord's records giving the PCs an excuse to traverse the entire area).
Once the adventure is concluded Varnhold will be without leadership, and Restov might charter them with leading the community, and if you're interested in the Kingdom Building stuff then you can use those rules from "Rivers Run Red" and continue the AP more or less as written (perhaps changing some of the stuff in the Greenbelt to be of a higher level).
do you intend to use mods 1 and 2 eventuallly?
if not, TVV would be a fine starting point
... what dudemaster said.
OR you could adjust the level in VV to a lower one and use it as an intro to the Kingmaker AP - although a lot of the horror and fun would be gone.
Ruyan.
