Four stones, three riddles#

Outside the temple were four large standing stones. Three of them carried riddles. The fourth was a small rock doorway that only opened once all three riddles had been solved. BS01 lists the riddles cleanly:

• The Third Virtue, paired with the Charm of DestinyThe Three VirtuesThe Three Virtues were the foundational principles given by Mata Nui to the Matoran, shaping social order, ritual, and the cosmology of Spherus Magna..
• Inner Strength, paired with the Charm of Willpower.
