Tsukiro is the language spoken throughout the Royal Dajeian Realm of Nokondo, its name translating poetically as Moon Dew. According to ancient Dajeian legend, the language first emerged during the age of the Sea Moon’s Rise, when the world itself was said to have entered a new and uncertain era. The image of dew symbolises renewal, clarity, and rebirth—reflecting the belief that Tsukiro was not merely created, but awakened at a pivotal turning of history.

Though the language has evolved considerably over thousands of years, certain qualities have remained unchanged. Tsukiro is renowned for the clarity and precision of its vocabulary, as well as the deliberate care with which it is spoken. Across all Five Regions of the Dajei, words are treated not as casual tools, but as forces carrying genuine weight and consequence.

Among the Dajeians, lies are considered deeply dishonourable, and careless speech is viewed as a sign of poor discipline or spiritual imbalance. Sound itself is believed to possess sacred qualities, and thus language must never be misused through deception, excess, or cruelty. This philosophy shapes not only communication, but the very rhythm of Dajeian society.

To foreign ears, Tsukiro often sounds melodic yet restrained—polite in tone, but edged with quiet authority. Its cadence flows with understated elegance, commanding attention without ever needing to demand it.

One of the language’s most distinctive traits is the complete absence of the letters L, V, and X. Over centuries, this omission has subtly shaped the sound and texture of Tsukiro, giving it a uniquely soft yet disciplined quality unlike any other tongue in the Known World.
