4runner, I suppose you mean the golden sun with the cloth inside ... When you first click it you'll be nicely welcomed to Elodea and being hinted that in case of any issues on your journey to have the possibility to always find your way back to your last linking cloth, BUT that cloth in the sun won't take you anywhere until you've been somewhere already ...
On the DI Shard of course everything is already opened and all the cloths being detected by the explorers and the 'game' ... So, when you've clicked that sun cloth just look around you ... maybe sth might have changed for you to move on ...
