Behind the portrait you discover a safe embedded in a granite wall. There is a dial set near the middle of its iron door, and it is ringed with numerals ranging from 0 to 9. Your Sixth Sense reveals to you that by turning the dial consecutively to the correct three numbers, you will cause the lock to disengage and the door to the wall safe will open.
The first number in the sequence is equal to the levels of Kai rank a Sun Prince is superior to a Grand Thane.
The second number is equal to the original total of rangers in Gildas’ command, including the captain himself.
The third number is equal to twice the number of islands in the northern gulf of the Chai Sea.
