Introduction
Spoilers ahead, so if you don't want to get anything spoiled. Stay away.
The next section will cover the riddle itself.

The Riddle
In the dust district lies the entrance to the Stilton Manor, guarded by a mighty lock with a combination.
The combination is said to be almost impossible to crack, guarded with a riddle made by Jindosh himself.


The Riddle
At the dinner party were Lady Winslow, Doctor Marcolla, Countess Contee, Madam Natsiou, and Baroness Finch.

The women sat in a row. They all wore different colors and Doctor Marcolla wore a jaunty green hat. Baroness Finch was at the far left, next to the guest wearing a white jacket. The lady in purple sat left of someone in blue. I remember that purple outfit because the woman spilled her whiskey all over it. The traveler from Dunwall was dressed entierly in red. When one of the dinner guests bragged about her Ring, the woman next to her said they were finer in Dunwall, where she lived.

So Countess Contee showed off a prized Bird Pendant at which the lady from Karnaca scoffed, saying it was no match for her War Medal.
Someone else carried a valuable Diamond and when she saw it, the visitor from Fraeport next to her almost spilled her neighbor's rum.
Madam Natsiou raised her absinthe in toast. The lady from dabovka, full of beer, jumped up onto the table, falling onto the guest in the center seat, spilling the poor woman's wine. Then lady Winslow captivated them all with a story about her wild youth in Baleton.

In the morning, there were four heirlooms under the table: the Ring, Snuff Tin, the War Medal, and the Diamond.

But who owned each?

Adding my combiation, might help anyone >
1) Winslow - Purple - Dunwall - Ring - Far left - Absynthe
2) Contee - Red - Dabokva (marlou??) - Snuff Tin - Center - Rum
3) Natsiou - Blue - Baleton - War Medal - Far Right - Wine
4) Marcolla - Green - Karnaca - Diamond - Right - Whiskey
5) Finch - White - Freeport - Bird Pendant - Left - Beer

Strange but they partially appear by position as it was told in riddle, this kinda got me dizzy, good luck future players.

Very weird - it seems I have stumbled upon a unique combination:
Marcolla 2 - 3 Bird pendant
Contee 3 - 2 Diamond
Natsiou   4 - 5 ? (Ring)
Finch 5 - 4 War medal
Winslow  1 - 1 Snuff tin
I've looked around several guides, none had this one. I gave up, saved, took the code straight from Durante's office, reloaded, entered it, and hey presto. Achievement.

I used the logic solver, and the only clue I can't input is "When the visitor from dunwall saw her neighbour's war medal, she spilled her neighbour's beer".

All i got from that is dunwall doesn't have beer or a war medal. I have an incomplete conclusion ont he logic solver :(

If the neighbour of the war medal spilled her neighbour's beer...does the war medal owner have the beer, or the person 2 seats over?
