They are two different items and cannot be stacked together. For the key that is bound to the character, the name and description for the key has been updated so that players can now see the two keys are different items. Soon has arrived.

Letter from Kevin 5: How are you enjoying Gondor? I really must hand it to the designers. Dol Amroth is insanely beautiful. Enough with the chit-chat. I want to lay upon you my worst nightmare: The Deeping Wall was busy with activity, as 12 of Windfola's finest warriors defended against hordes of Saruman's forces. The Eastern tower had already been saved with perfection, but now the culvert below was under attack! Wave after wave of orcs poured through the opening, but each wave was repelled. Even two elite trolls came through, but were quickly felled by our soldiers. 17 rocks were placed by the workers, only 1 to go, and another task completed perfectly! What's this?
