Thanks for the replies, the problem is that I lost the pommel jewel of the equalizer there. I can not figure out how to get back in to fight the people there, and there was never a message that there was a problem. So I think I am just stuck outside the keep. I guess next time I will make sure that I complete the keep quests or just not put anything of value into it. (although I figured it was safe) I always went right to the keep when someone came to me. Anyway, I dropped nalia for imoen in chapter 4. She was always the first to die, not that imoen is much better. Still have not got the rest of the equalizer anyway, can anyone tell me if it is worth it.

I never used it. Didn't have anyone with a longsword proficiency (fancy that). It's supposed to be pretty good, although not as a primary weapon, since its effectiveness varies depending on your opponent's alignment.

Are you a warrior? Because I've noticed after you get a keep I.E. Theives Guild, Keep, Planar Marble all contents are reset. So your pommel jewel can only be reimported via shadowkeeper its not cheating just call it .... the gods will.

I think he posted earlier saying that there'd been a revolt, and he'd been locked out of his castle.

well not sure what caused the revolt, did all the quests that were asked and then all of a sudden went back after doing the trademeet and umar hills quest and upon entering the area the journel read that I lost the keep.

I guess it is not that important now, just wanted to make sure I did not need the sword.
