Tsukinomiya

* Nation Information
* Ruling Information

Tsukinomiya, is a land that can be found deep beneath the ground, sometimes accessible within the giant crater found in Shandian's Wrath Waters.

This place is the land where the daemon race can be found, living in eternal darkness and sometimes, white nights.

## Origins

Tsukinomiya, was part of the World known as Mako, as the Genesis Gods created the microcosm. It is the land of the Moon.

The God of the Moon, created the lands of Tsukonomiya. As a Genesis God, it also created its living beings that would live on these lands and adore the Moon. They were the children of the moon, but later on would be known as the daemons. Tsukinomiya initially shared borders with Hiyakoku, the land of the Sun, and Mako, the land of Earth.

Many eons ago, the Genesis Gods, were cast aside and overthrew by the Principles, which decided to recreate the world anew. They banished anyone that would have witnessed or known the truth about the world of Mako, by turning the world upside down, making Tsukinomiya, which was once in the skies, deep under the earth. The Elemental Gods were ordered rule the new lands, and were given Principles in order to stay in line. Eynsof was thus created on the ruins of the previous lands.

In the recent times, Tsukinomiya is often reffered as the land of the daemons, the underworld or the abyss. It shares a connection with Hiyakoku, and a part of Eynsof, precisely around Shandian's Wrath, a gigantic and deep crater that created a path for both worlds to communicate. Though to get from one to another, a thick and deep layer of ocean separates the two, that needs to be crossed.

This story can be found in the books of:

* *The Primordial Lands*
* *Verum Genesis, IV*

## History

A couple of centuries before the events of the Infinity project, Tsukinomiya managed to expand their lands onto the surface, Eynsof. Initially, Shandian, who had to share land with the Tsukinomiyans, did not mind. The Principles however, did not agree and ordered Shandian, the Hydros Deity and Iblis to dispose of the Tsukinomiyans. This lead to the Tsukinomiya War where Shandian was forced to send the people back to the abyss, and turned mad enough to create a gigantic crater towards the northwestern part of the Shandian Nation, which is where the Tsukinomiyans settled.

This war was propagandised as daemons trying to invade the world of Eynsof, and thus the cultural shift towards the hatred of daemons and their total banishment started.

### The Tsukigami

The current ruler, Tsukigami, is the God of the Moon, also referred as the Moon Goddess as she lost most of her powers and notoriety. she is still trying to take care of Tsukinomiya, its people, its future and well-being, despite the Principles having cut off all resources to them. Some speculate that the war was initially planned by the Tsukigami by sending people on the surface, growing desperate for its people to be fed. However due to the Tsukigami's kind heart, was not able to properly start it and the Principles did anyway.

### The Lunar Crystal

The Lunar Crystal, is the source of all power within Tsukigami, and its daemon people. It is the counterpart of Elements of Eynsof, and the Alchemy of Hiyokoku, allowing the people to use magic powers, which their strength is relative to their affinity to the crystal. It goes through constant cycles of depletion and regeneration, thanks to the Tsukigami shining moon light on the crystal every decade or so. It is heavily sought after by the humans of Eynsof, due to its tremendous amount of power and how it could overthrow the Elements easily.

## Lunastella and its children

Lunastella, is the capital of Tsukinomiya, where the Tsukigami resides. It is also the location of the Lunar Crystal, which powers the Tsukinomiya civilisation. Mei and her mother, Shu are notably born in this city.

The Tsukigami, and its crystal, often choose children that will be great daemons and have tremendous powers, thanks to being chosen by the Crystal. These are refferred as the Lunar children, who are blessed by the Tsukigami and the Crystal, and are predicted to be great people that will positively affect the nation of the moon. Once the child turns adult, they can claim the Lunastella throne to rule over the land alongside the Tsukigami, protect and nurture the Lunar Crystal.

Mei, is the latest Lunar Child who is about to claim the Lunastella throne.
