Dainichi Mikoshi

The is a subarea in Enkanomiya, Inazuma. It is an artificial sun that was created by Aberaku no Mikoto in order to protect Byakuyakoku from the Bathysmal Vishaps. It can be toggled on and off to control Enkanomiya's day and night, respectively called Whitenight and Evernight. The subarea contains the Dainichi Mikoshi structure itself and the surrounding area.
Before the establishment of the Inazuman Watatsumi culture it was known as Hyperion (or Byakuya no Hikari). Aberaku also called it the Helios.World Quest Series: Hyperion's Dirge
== Appearance ==
The Dainichi Mikoshi, from the top, has a 3-line triangle-format angled structure. It consists of 3 main walls, each in a sharp and jagged structure, bearing resemblance to that of a sword, in somewhat a sense. Attached to the ends of the walls are what can be assumed other walls, arching up at the end like roller coasters. It is mainly grey stone, covered in gold accents. It sits atop a stone foundation on one of the many floating isles of Enkanomiya. In the center, a console, used to shift from Evernight to Whitenight. Under this console is the entrance to the Coral Defenders boss fight. At the very top of the Dainichi Mikoshi, only accessible by rock-climbing or climbing with Geo Traveler or a climbing character, is a triangle-spiraling cube, with several fractures in it, each glowing a primordial light. This serves as the Artificial Sun of Enkanomiya.

==Lore==
The Dainichi Mikoshi is an artificial sun that was created in the depths of Byakuyakoku by Aberaku. When Byakuyakoku fell into the ocean, it was terrorized by the Dragonheirs of the Depths, which are now called Bathysmal Vishaps. The people of Byakuyakoku pleaded to be saved from the Dragonheirs, but the Heavenly Principles and three of its Four Shades did not answer. Only Istaroth, one of the other shining Shades, heard and taught Aberaku enough knowledge such that he could create Dainichi Mikoshi, which he called "Helios, the divine chariot of the sun." The light of Helios drove away the Dragonheirs and so Whitenight came and Evernight was banished, ushering in the first year of Sun and Moon.
After Aberaku built the Dainichi Mikoshi and staved off the threat of the Dragonheirs, peace was established in Byakuyakoku. But in the second year of Sun and Moon, a cabal of corrupt nobles would manipulate the people into worshipping the Dainichi Mikoshi as a god, and chose a child to be their puppet ruler, called the Sunchild, and rule over the land. Aberaku opposed this, so the Sunchild accused Aberaku of high treason and imprisoned him. On the tenth year of Sun and Moon, Aberaku died in prison and his clothes and body were enshrined in various places in acknowledgement of his achievements for creating the Helios. However, this had the effect of splitting apart his soul into fragments, rendering him unable to rest for many years.
Eventually, a Byakuyakoku child would discover Orobashi, who was hiding in a cave due to having escaped from the Archon War. The child would ask Orobashi to become their god, and it agreed, overthrowing the Sunchildren's rule and becoming Byakuyakoku's ruler. After his arrival, Orobashi used its powers to bolster the Dainichi Mikoshi's power, enabling Enkanomiya to have a day and night cycle that could be toggled manually.PlayStation Blog: Genshin Impact version 2.4 brings grand celebrations and a mysterious new area to Teyvat

==Trivia==
* There are floating rocks above the Dainichi Mikoshi from which players can glide to Yachimatahiko's Locus, Yachimatahime's Locus, and Kunado's Locus without falling into the depths. However, some of these rocks are unclimbable and can only be stood upon, so players will need to use Traveler (Geo)'s Starfell Sword and may need to use an additional height booster such as Venti's Skyward Sonnet or Kazuha's Chihayaburu to reach the top.
** Gliding to all three loci with 240 Max Stamina is possible with various combinations of Stamina restoration, decreases in gliding Stamina consumption, increases in gliding movement speed, and Talents that can be used in mid-air to gain distance or height.
* Although Albedo's Level 3 Constellation Grace of Helios also mentions the name Helios, it is perhaps merely coincidental, since its original Chinese name means the "Brilliance of the Sun" and does not make a direct reference to this Greek deity name.
===Etymology===
* The term refers to , the sun Buddha of the (Five Great Buddhas).
* refers to a sacred religious palanquin used in .
