Location: Tenebrae
Proprietor: Orlok

The Shattered Skull is a tavern in western Tenebrae. It appears in Ultima VIII.

Description[edit]

The tavern is owned and operated by Orlok and employs Jenna as a barmaid. The building used to be a derelict torax barn and Orlok bought it with money he had embezzled in his previous job as an exchequer. After transforming the building into a tavern, Orlok worked to cultivate a colorful persona befitting a barkeep, and over time crafted an elaborate fictitious past for himself in which he was a pirate and adventurer.

Being the only establishment of this sort in the whole city, it held a monopoly on food and drinks and was the center of social life for the poorer people of Tenebrae - therefore everyone living in the western part of the city. Besides food and drink, one could engage in a game of darts or listen to Orlok's fabricated stories.

Lore[edit]

Fresh fish and vegatables can be purchased at the tavern. Quality refreshment is available at the tavern, where herdsmen bring torax chops and kith fillets.
