About this mod
This is a collection of enhancement patches for Schlitzohrs Cracked Tusk Stronghold. They replace some of the vanilla furniture placed with Orc Furniture made by Kelretu, distribute the Orcish Plate and Scale to the Cracked Tusks with SPID and finally place the Headmans Cleaver in the Keeps vault.

I am a big fan of Schlitzohr’s ‘Cracked Tusk Stronghold’, MaarMalur’s ‘Cultured Orc Furniture’ and Ooreeoo’s ‘Orcish Strongholds use Orcish Equipment’. I also used Slampire’s Creation Cave to disable the CC Blood in the Water quest. With these modpage I want to share some patches to make these mods play nicely together.
Cracked Tusk Keep - Cultured Orc Furnishings
I have taken MaarMalur’s mod as inspiration and reference to give the enhanced Cracked Tusk Stronghold the same treatment as the other strongholds. Several of the vanilla placed furnishings in Cracked Tusk Keep and Bilegulch Mine are changed to the assets made by Kelretu just as the mod made by MaalMalur. I redid the mod to only affect Cracked Tusk Keep and Bilegulch Mine, to give people the opportunity to only use it for these two locations and preserve compatibility if you have modded the vanilla Orc strongholds.
MaarMalur’s mod already makes some changes to these locations as well, and is fully compatible with this mod. I would recommend their mod fully to have the same furnishings placed in Dushnik Yal, Largashbur, Mor Khazgur, Narzulbur and Rift Watchtower.
Cracked Tusk Keep uses Orc Equipment
Uses the Outfits and SPID implementation of Orc Strongholds use Orcish Equipment to distribute vanilla and CC equipment to the Orcs at Cracked Tusk Keep and the Challenger. The bandit Orcs at Bilegulch Mine are unchanged to indicate that they have strayed from Malacath's path (and balance reasons as Orcish equipment is quite strong against lower levelled characters)
- The Chief now wears a full set of Orcish armor
- The Challenger now wears a full set of Orcish Plate
- The Wise Woman now wears the unique set of robes for orcish Wise Women.
- The cracked tusk orcs now wear a full set of Orcish Scaled armor without helmets
- The head of the guard now wears a set of Orcish armor without a helmet
I have taken inspiration from Slampiire’s Creation Cave to create a plugin that disables the quest Blood in the Water. Slampire’s solution edit’s Ghunzul. I changed it to place the Headmans Cleaver in the keep’s vault and reference the lore behind the weapon from Elder Scrolls Blades in a note next to it.
This patch also works without Schildzor’s Cracked Tusk Keep, but it was made to accommodate the changes in that mod. It can be used as a standalone if one wants to find the weapon in the vault instead of in Ghunzul’s hands.
