"Since the Brions have given us Ethereal Amulet trainers and it is sometimes necessary to enter their keeps to speak to these trainers. In addition, there are three slaves that we can do business with (Soul Sword, Ethereal Portal stone, Ethereal Amulet) that are within Tenebrion's Keep so it's neccesary to go in there to get access to them. Since the guards attack us, we are merely defending ourselves."

You've got me there. It is indeed a mystery why the 'Brions continue to place such slaves within their castles, if they wish to keep us out. However, exiles often enter the 'Brions' keeps for other purposes, as "hunting" and "exploration." Unfortunately, exiles often take the "kill first, ask questions later" approach to exploring.

"Unless the Brions created the Sasquatches, Mud Golems, Valley Panthers, Valley Cougars, Undine, rats, vermine, Rippers, etc. that are found in and around the keeps then the Brions have no claim to them and so exiles can kill the beasts freely since they belong to no one."

Yei, these creatures were indeed created by the 'Brions. Melabrion created the Mud Golems, Tenebrion the undine, and Umbrion the Lava Beetles and Lava Walkers. Did you think that they just happened to appear in the 'Brions keeps?

"If they don't want exiles in their Keeps they can close and lock the doors so we can't get in. Since the doors to the keeps are open, many assume that it means we can go in."

"Therefore, if the Brions are upset at us exiles for any of these acts they only have themselves to blame since there are several actions they can take to remedy them."

What interesting logic! By your arguments:

"If exiles don't want Darshak in Puddleby they can close and lock the gates so they can't get in. Since the doors to the town are open, many assume that it means they can go in."

"Therefore, if the exiles of Puddleby are upset at the Darshak for any of these acts they only have themselves to blame since there are several actions they can take to remedy them."
