But, McCabe doesn't control the entire pass, which is called Highpass Hold. He only controls (holds) a portion of the entire zone, those within the gates on either end of the pass. The Orcs and Gnolls hold the rest of the pass. So, yes, the area between the gates in the pass would constitute a hold, and the castle would be the keep. In that case we would need 4 zones for the area to make sense: High Pass East, High Pass West, High Pass Hold, and High Pass Hold Keep.

The Keep isn't held very well though. The goblins hold the cellars, and Dark Elves keep taking up residence in the Keep. Meanwhile, out in the Hold, which is currently the Pass, but would be part of the Hold if there were 4 zones, the bandits hold a few areas just outside the Keep. If you pass too close to the areas they keep, they will most likely hold you in contempt at least, and may very well take your life. So, make sure to stay clear of the places they hold outside of the keep.
