This domain can be unlocked by lighting up the torches that surround the cube mechanism in the middle. However, due to the perpetual rain that engulfs Yashiori Island, it is impossible to light up all the torches in quick succession. To overcome this obstacle, you will need to embark on the Orobashi's Legacy World Quest and complete the first three parts. By doing so, you will bring an end to the relentless lightning storm.

To embark on the quest chain, you must first seek out Kaji, an NPC positioned on the eastern side of Fort Fujitou. This first part of the quest revolves around the task of collecting two missing parts and restoring a damaged ward.

The rain will subside once you have accomplished these quests. You can proceed to light the four torches surrounding the cube mechanism. Start with the torch nearest to the cube and continue in a clockwise direction, following the order in which the Seelie floats around.

When the four lanterns are lit, players should activate the cube mechanism in order to gain access to the Formation Estate!
