Permanent Storage Location for main The Quest game

Can anyone recommend Permanent Storage locations when starting out with The Quest? Read that normal storage would refresh after 7 in-game days.
Read somewhere that the shelf in the Crypt on the first town is one such permanent location.. Is this true? And is the shelf being referred to the one where you can get the Saint's Skull?
