The wheel must turn anew.
This series of elements is important to deciphering the scrambled text.
Talk to Valiant Hart and he directs you to Yayaroku.
Talk to Yayaroku located in Ul'dah in the Thaumaturge's Guild.
Yayaroku tells you that the elements are from Essences and Permutations but the sequence is wrong; it should be LIGHTNING / FIRE / EARTH / ICE / WATER / WIND.
By rearranging the tokens in this order, you get the unscrambled name of a map waypoint.

A treatise on cultivating interpersonal relationships and influencing others catches your eye. You open it to the bookmarked page and take note of an underlined passage:
