The three-level inner keep may be accessed through either of two doors - one on the main level, one on the lower level with an adept lock, and a trap door in the roof of the tower. In the courtyard the Orcs have built a smokehouse and have a tanning rack nearby. What sets this fort apart is the additional Orcish construction in the outer yard. The courtyard has a blacksmith's shop with a working forge, grindstone and workbench. Typical of most abandoned forts in Skyrim, the outer walls and towers are crumbling and broken in spots and the entire fort is in a general state of disrepair. The keep may be entered through two doors or a trap door on top of one tower. The keep is divided into three sections: Cracked Tusk Keep (Outer), Cracked Tusk Keep (Inner), and Cracked Tusk Keep Vault. It was an abandoned fort that has now become an Orc Stronghold, and is now guarded by hostile Orcs that will attack on sight. The fort is located within Falkreath Hold, west of Falkreath City along the main road.Ĭracked Tusk Keep is named after the Orcs who now reside there.
