Geography
Tsukikage is located within the Osterium Sea and is known for its temperate climate. Both warm waters from the south come to intermix with the cold waters from the north. Neko Island is known to be emerald as it faces heavy rains in the summers and snowfall in the winters. As such plant life and grass in the pre-Tsukikage days were heavily forested. In modern times, the primeval forests were chopped down by the early settlers in place of bamboo and other man-made gardens. The common natural hazards faced in Tsukikage are flooding, snowstorms, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

Government
The government of Tsukikage is quite simple as it’s only a single city to manage, the Mayoress of the city holds absolute autocratic powers over the city. Even though the autocracy has complete power, when Pik inherited the city, she decided to make a small council of advisors to assist her in the new rule. The current ruling house is House Lumenox which is held in high regard, Pik’s husband Azazel is held in the highest regard, effectively being second in command and regent while Pik is considered unfit to rule. House Luon was the founding house of Tsukikage and was the imperial family of the fallen Lunari Empire, it is now effectively extinct besides some pockets around Rathnir, Pik is a Luon by law but has since changed her last name to her husband’s House of Lumenox. Succession is completely in control of the city's current ruler and the projected successor is Yukine Lumenox, Pik’s youngest daughter. Although the city only had female rulers, succession and government roles were by merit and not gender, both males and females had an equal chance of being rulers in succession. The City-State of Tsukikage is now independent.
