Shum gro-Yarug taking time out from Skingrad castle

Shum gro-Yarug is the orc butler at Castle Skingrad in Skingrad. He is normally located in the main hall of Castle Skingrad, but keeps a regular schedule traveling into Skingrad for lunch at 10.00 AM to the West Weald Inn and then to the Colovian Traders shop at 12.00 PM.

You can ask Shum about purchasing Rosethorn Hall in Skingrad, but only if his disposition to you is high enough (70+) and you are considered famous (Fame 15+). Only then will he give the option of purchasing it.

You can talk to him during one of the Thieves guild quests in order to obtain a job at Castle Skingrad. Apparently, he is a member of the "Orc Social Club," which the townspeople consider to be a joke.

[edit] Bugs

Shum will occasionally fall off the bridge to Castle Skingrad and die. PC players who need him for either of his related quests can resurrect him with the following set of Console commands:

prid 0002C466
resurrect 1
enable

Xbox 360 and PS3 users afflicted with this bug cannot fix it and will be unable to buy Rosethorn Hall. Although the problem is not common, it may be wise to deal with Shum as early as possible. Also, spending less time in Skingrad and the surrounding area reduces the chances of Shum falling off the bridge. Using multiple saves is always recommended. You could also spend your time in Skingrad during night time to avoid him falling over the bridge.
