When you get back to Athkatla in chapter 6, everyone will be there waiting for you where you left them. However, when you finish SoA and move in ToB, you can no longer access any areas in SoA (except watcher's keep). So you need to take any items you want to keep from your ranger cabin with you before you do the final battle. When you start ToB, you will be given a stronghold of sorts, where you can summon any NPC you want. They will have different items than they had in SoA, and their experience will have gone up (I think).
