You start in one of the four corner towers of the keep. Downstairs is the upper keep level. Three of the towers can be reached from the upper keep (including the one you start in), but the fourth tower's door is stuck and can only be opened by coming down from the tower (the first time).

There are many locked doors, hidden rooms, and secret niches on these levels, but no secret buttons or illusionary walls(?). There are three keys needed, a brass key (you might find 2 of these), a bronze key (might find 2 also), and a steel key, in that order. You also need to find (and keep!) Afri's Orb.

There are two sets of stairs leading down to the lower keep. Unlock them both, but go down the eastern one first.

The Fountain of Thera heals. When you find it, use it often.

There is a full set of armor and several good weapons to be found - leather uppers & leggings, one wooden and one metal shield, a dented helm, a broadsword, a hammer, a staff, several throwing daggers, lots of rocks and arrows, grenades (oil flasks), and a dagger of piercing (a.k.a. a very sharp knife - almost impossible to find without help).

If you find the drunk sharga, just ignore him. Talk about harmless, he can barely stand up straight!

There is one door on this level that can't be opened from either side.

Arrow trap. You can put something on the floor plate to trigger the trap. If you do this several times, the trap will run out of arrows. A button in the room past the trap disables it.
