The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel

West of Falkreath, nestled in the rugged hills near the border of Hammerfell, Cracked Tusk Keep stands as a brutal, timeworn fortress built of jagged stone and iron. Once a bandit stronghold, it has since been claimed by a clan of Orcs who have fortified its crumbling walls and turned it into a smithy of dark purpose. The keep gets its name from a shattered war-banner hanging above the main gate, depicting the image of a tusked skull split down the center. Within, the keep hides more than just forges and weapons—beneath the surface lies a hidden forge chamber used for Daedric crafting, its fires fueled by unnatural means. Traps line the corridors, and the Orcs that guard the stronghold are fiercely territorial. Rumors suggest they are forging something powerful in secret, answering not to any stronghold, but to darker masters. Cracked Tusk Keep is no mere ruin—it is a bastion of iron, ambition, and blood-bound secrets.
