There are not many keys in Ultima Underworld II and the game does have a keyring, allowing much easier inventory of the various keys encountered. Nonetheless, here a complete overview of the keys, complete with notes about special properties of said keys.
Also, keys with no fitting lock do turn up (especially on Tarna). Those keys are not listed here.
