Key

The Key is an item used to unlock doors and chests. It is dropped by a variety of creatures. You must be careful when turning a lock with a key, they have a habit of breaking and jamming the door or chest you were trying to open. It can be forged from any metal, most commonly brass or bronze. Instead of using keys, many Mages simply use and unlocking spell, and people not so well versed in the magical arts can find that a good shove will snap any cheaply-made locks.

Keys play a key roll in many quests, where they must be found to unlock chests and find the valuables inside, or are used to gain access to locked buildings.
