High Keep is the seat of a former empire that used to spread its power over central Antonica in years past. Now, their reign has diminished to Highpass Hold due to constant attacks by the orcs and gnolls. However, the inhabitants of High Keep thrive on trade (both legal and illegal) passing through the center of the continent with Highpass Hold being one of the few "safe" regions to pass through.

If the guards catch you, you are pretty much dead meat until you raise faction enough to turn in all those orc skins, or gob ears. Then you got it made. (of course by that time, you would have leveled enough to leave) "Grab the pebble from my hand grasshopper"

Erudite Quest NPC ???
# Feb 07 2001 at 9:36 PM Rating: Default
two days ago I was walking around the rooms in the Golden Rooster (I believe) when some Erudite NPC attacked me. I think he was a wizard. He was green to a level 23 Rogue. He dropped a rolled up note. Factions hits were the varius Erudin hits, Erudin high council etc etc. Any idea who this is? I don't remember the name other that it had some K's in it.

# Nov 04 2000 at 4:10 PM Rating: Default
some guild on tarew marr told all the gm's they were going to raid highkeep. a week or so later they proceeded to do so, killing their way up to the top. I watched them kill lady mccabe, mistress anna, and carson mccabe (who is one bad mutha, i think he was quad attacking for 225).
Anyhow, after all that and telling the gms ahead of time, they got nothing, no drop or anything.

What faction is Grahm Embersmith???
# Nov 03 2000 at 5:01 PM Rating: Decent
What faction is this guy? Im dubious to him, and I dont like going to steamfont whenever I need Mq bricks for making Fine plate. Im thinking Karana Residents, Corrupt Guards or Fp militia, since those are the only prominent ones I lowered, but could be something else *goes back to slay another 100 gnolls to raise his faction with karana residents* so if anyone has that information, plz post

Have you thought... merchants of Highpass or Highkeep?

Turn in a ton of goblin ears, orc scalps & gnoll scalps. My Pally is aimiable to this guy, just so I can keep from being KoS to the FP militia!

I was poking around the Keep the other day, and seem to have opened the wrong door: behind it was "Tsaria Jnarus", a DE caster who conned blue and KOS to my 51 Druid. I hightailed it out of the place, since I wasn't sure whether the guards would side with her or me. Anyone know who this NPC is? Looks like a newbie deathtrap, if you ask me. The one spell she landed did 200+ damage.

The exact same thing happened to me with my level 12 druid halfling. I think the crazy witch has a racial hatred for halflings, because right before she toasted me for 124 she said something like, "wretched halfling, you won't ruin our land the way you ruined yours. Halflings, don't go in there. I'm going to get higher leveled and go and teach that wench a lesson.

I also had the unfortunate time of meeting this dark elven women who was sitting in a room on the second floor two doors up from the casino room with the nobles and dealers, the room appears to be a bedroom(or hotel room) there are two of them in a line there it was the second one away from the casino, anyway she attacked my wood elven warrior of tunare, not a surprise since she is a dark elf, although the other dark elves in there hidden behind the secret walls never attack me even though they are higher level than me. Anyway red at 28 and quad hit me one was for 124 others were less, guessing around 40 approx level. barely made it out by the skin of my teeth and guards don't help her but they don't help you either. Well would love to know what she is for a dark elf might be able to give this information before long.

RE: Gob Ears
# Aug 05 2000 at 9:02 AM Rating: Decent
Gob ears are one of the BEST ways to keep your faction up with not only HPH guards but also corrupt guards in both Qeynos and Freeport. People want to buy them because the exp off of the Freeport Militia is great, at the cost of being KOS there. However with gob ears you can negate those hits and using the ears gives you no faction hits

In order to make the woodelf traitor spawn, I'm pretty sure you need to talk to a couple of people first. take a look at some of the sites about the scouts blade quest to figure out exactly what you have to say to whom.

Hi, 28th enchanter Mikba here. Listen, these goblins are no pushovers. I've had greens toast me like I was nothing. they hit for 40,55+ and high HP's. But this zone is for groups ONLY. ...unless you wanna kill Osargen.

# Jul 06 2000 at 7:16 AM Rating: Decent
The loot and exp from Capt. Bosec is not that good. You can sell the gob ears to other players for 3-5pp. What I do is save up a stack of 20 and have sold these for 80-100pp to other players. Don't know what they want them for.
Gobby ears
# Jul 02 2000 at 3:17 AM Rating: Decent
If youre hunting gobs in Highkeep, they sometimes drop goblin ears. Its best to save them until you have 4 then there is someone named captain bosec who hangs around near the bank give him the ears youll get exp faction with the highpass guard Fp militia and some other things.
Spiritist
# Jun 29 2000 at 9:16 AM Rating: Decent
There is also a Pickclaw Spiritist. He is about 22-25.He has root and DoT spells I think.He spawns in the guard room and can be very annoying for a non-caster PC.But I'm a druid so I nuke his *** off and root and DoT him :)

There is a bard in Highkeep, two actually. Lisa Goldtune is in the courtyard and she gives out the bard mail quests. The other is in a room, past the courtyard, past the first room, then left to a room with a door, and he is in there. His name is Justin Rhymes and he sell bard song and other items.

Highkeep exploits
# Jun 18 2000 at 11:01 PM Rating: Default
Too bad they fixed the horrible pathing problems that allowed you to exploit like mad and kill any guard you wish (that you could see) without fear of retaliation. Went from lvl 24 to 30 in 5 days doing this, then they fixed Highkeep and my faction was jacked forever

Lenya

There are two "Lenya"s. One is an imposter, a dark elf who is masquerading as the princess. The real Lenya is a little harder to find.

# Jun 08 2000 at 5:41 PM Rating: Decent
ShowEq (a site I visit) shows that Lenya is indeed a High Elf Necromancer. An impossible combination. But then, it also shows all the guards as being Were Wolves, so who knows. But Lenya does summon a skeleton pet.

I have spent a bit of time looking for Tearon, for the Princess Lenya Quest...Anyone know how to get to Tearon, or to the real princess?? (for some reason, a high elf with a skeleton pet doesnt seem right to me,,,she must be a fake)...

If so, email me at ::

Tsaria Janus??
# May 20 2000 at 11:30 AM Rating: Decent
forgive my spelling but the last two days on the tribunal server there has been a DE named Tsaria Janus or something like that running around killing any elves she sees...after just beeing rezzed she killed Sinerinx my 20 WE ranger friend, and nearly killed Bakumon, a 45 Claric before he was able to gate away....one tough cookie, and was in the main halway?? I don't understand it.. oh yeah and the guards didn't attack her either
RE: Tsaria Janus??
# Jul 20 2003 at 10:11 AM Rating: Decent
Although I'm not sure how good of an idea it was, I thought I'd put me 2cp in about Tsaria Jnarus (Correct SP)...

When I ran across her, and couldn't find her anywhere, I took a stranger up there to investigate. Unbeknownst to me, she was KOS and immediately started getting a wallop.

Myself, a 53 Necro, was able to take her down (and lose faction with The Dead might I add) rather quickly, to avoid her chasing the stranger to her death.

I took screenshots. She gave no loot.

made worse by killing her:
Opal Dark Briar
Dismal Rage
The Dead
Dark Reflection
Bloodsabers

I hope I haven't ruined my faction completely. Guess I should head to Neriak to find out.

Her name is Tsaria Jnarus (Jnarus is one of the major family names of Dark elf npcs. Take a look around neriak sometime. A lot of clerical npcs are named Jnarus, and I think the guildleader might even be a Jnarus.)

I spawned her on Tribunal. I was killing highkeep guards (like I do on occasion), and instead of the usual 'a guard' (either one spawns, or two spawn stacked on top of eachother) spawn in the room behind the stairway to the 3rd level of the keep, she spawned. She's apprehensive to me, and blue at 44. I think that she might be on Clerics of Innoruuk faction (DE clerics), because as far as I know, they're the only DE faction that I'm apprehensive to. She didn't respond to any hails, and I asked her about the spires of innoruuk, the Jnarus family, serving the father, and other random dark elf-ish phrases but she remained silent.

Sorry to hear that she killed some people...

RE: Tsaria Janus??
# Dec 28 2000 at 5:59 AM Rating: Default
yea, she sits in a room right down the hallway from the casino type room with the noteboard in it... i was running thru the place looking for brewing supplies when i opened her door and she casted on me... she's a pretty tough wizard or cleric... her spells kept stunning me, but she won't go past the hallway on the first floor by where the pillars are... so i made it to zone after she dropped me 1000+ hp's in 4 or 5 spells...
RE: Tsaria Janus??

She dropped my 39 Druid in 4 casts. Con'd Red. Chanter is was with 40 Eur. was not attacked.
Will go back in 5 Lvls and see how she cons :)
Grex
# May 10 2000 at 1:39 AM Rating: Decent
Just went into the keep tonight. There is a NPC named Grex stalking the courtyard. He jumped me and was red to me at level 24. He looked like a Karnana Bandit. Anyone have any idea about him? He just seemed to walk back and forth in the main courtyard.

Yes, the Raiders are up to level 35 or 36. Just a bit tougher than Warriors. More spawns in Warriors room though, and closer to stairs spawns also, it's the room of choice for leveling fast.
