B2: The Keep on the Borderlands - 3.5 conversion

by Diego Calugi

I'm converting module B2 to 3.5 edition: here.
I was thinking about how to set it more deeply into Mystara, for using it as a standalone adventure for my group, but also for the fun of it!
Then I have found that already exist a lot of material on Pandius.com!

Of course, I have some questions for the experts out there!
Sorry if all of this seems “too newbie”. Once upon a time I was quite knowledgeable in all things Mystaran, but now too many years have passed and I have missed so much of what you all have written in these years!

My idea was to create a 3.5 edition of the module, which would include all the wonderful material that I have found on Pandius.com

LOCATION:
Where is the keep in Mystara?
May I assume as canon that it is Castellan Keep, as stated in this interesting article?
Is there already a fan map of Karameikos which shows the keep (Castellan Keep) and the other wilderness encounters of the module?

DATE:
This is a very interesting timeline.
May we set B2 in 1.000 AC?
Other ideas?

THE HUMANOIDS:
What about the various humanoid tribes found in the caves of chaos?
Are they part of larger communities of humanoids who live elsewhere or are they new and unique tribes?
I have always thought that they were part of larger clans, came to the Caves of Chaos to pray at the Evil Temple there.

But on Pandius I have found many interesting idea about three tribes: Grey Rats, Horned Heads and The Chaos Horde: here, here, and of course this fantastic pdf.
Do I miss other important material which I should take in consideration?

RELIGION:
About the temple itself, which god do you think is worshipped there?
A single god or more gods?
Which?
I have read about The Dark Triad.
