The odd bird amongst the states of the shattered Griffonian Empire, the Skyfall Trade Federation is a mercantile coalition of towns and companies that has prospered while the Empire has declined. Yet even the Federation has its issues, such as a deep class divide.
The Trade Federation is currently standing at a crossroads, its future might be a model for all of Griffonia, or a cautionary tale about how to ruin prosperity.
Lore
An Imperial Trade Port
Skyfall was once an Imperial Free City during the rise of the Griffonian Empire over the continent. It becomes a bustling and major trade port. It even becomes the most profitable port in Griffonia, and maybe the world. With Skyfall becoming a major port city of the Empire. It also becomes the main dock of the Imperial Navy and home of their operations. Under the Empire's reign, it prospered and industrialized and became one of the first industrialized nations in Griffonia. In 977 ALB, a businessgriff and industrialist named Ghislain Guichard was elected as mayor and continued to make Skyfall a roaring trade port.
The Revolution
In 978ALB when the Republican Revolution under Alexander Kemerskai took place, Skyfall was now facing a popular insurrection in the city. Guichard sees this opportunity to seize power and declare Skyfall as its independent nation by initially siding with the Republicans and devising a plan with them to seize the Imperial Fleet by killing the Imperial Garrison there. After the plan to seize the navy, Ghislain showed his true face and sent mercenaries to kill the Republicans he once helped and declare Skyfall as its independent Federation of Merchants, bussinessgriffs, and capitalists.
After the Revolution and the Start of Iron Rule
Now that the Republicans have been slaughtered and only Ghislain in charge. He started to crush all opposition and resistance against him to secure his leadership and banning all trade unions for the reasons of stability and peace but in return earning the nickname of "The Most Hated Griffon in Griffonia" and 'Iron Chancellor." After its independence, Skyfall prosper and the economy boomed under his leadership while Griffonia declines around them but even this has its side effects. Prosperity in Skyfall is only centralized and concentrated in the upper class of Skyfall. Capitalists, businessgriffs, Crime Lords, etc grow wealthy and had an abundance of wealth while the common workgriff suffers and stays in poverty. The economic, social, political inequalities in Skyfall are showing themselves plainly as day. As Ghislain ages by the day, his rule will end soon, and everygriff knows that and when he dies, any group or organization will seize the moment to control Skyfall for themselves.
National Focus
The Meeting
.In the early game of Skyfall, the player has 3 branches they can pick from after completing The Meeting Focus. After completing that focus, you will have an event to choose which path you want to take. Picking these paths can change the path of Skyfall and changes ideology. As you pick one of the paths, it will expand and loads new focus trees throughout the campaign.
Our Prosperous Little Nation
In the Left Branch of the starting political tree for Skyfall, Ghislain decides to put his trust and cooperate in the Merchants, Industrialists, Bankers and the like in Skyfall and giving them favors in return for factories, various bonuses on research, and military equipment but all of these events at the end of each focus with cost you millions of idols and a little drop of political power and stability.
Our Beloved Chancellor
In the Middle Branch of starting political tree, Ghislain decides to trust no one and shutdown the council and send all of the councilors home. He also starts to crackdown and purge the Vakbonden and watching the Boreasiste's activity. Arresting, assassinating and killing all who opposes his iron rule with help of the Veiligheld (The Secret Police). He gain Total and Absolute Control of Skyfall. This focus decrease stability but gives you more political power and deceases/increases party popularity of the opposing parties. During the Total Control focus, the remnants of the Vakbonden will start the "Wildcat Strike" and refuse to work until "justice is returned to Skyfall." That event will damage your factories, infrastructure and raises popularity of Communism.
Our Ailing People
In the Right Branch of the Tree. Ghislain will decide to take his niece's advice and starts to aid the working class by listening to the trade unions, starts a detente with them, giving to charity, open soup kitchens, rise wages and starts to change as a person. These focuses raises stability and the popularity of Harmony and political power but at the cost of idols.
Military Focus Trees
After, a leader has been selected and cemented as Skyfall, their Army, Naval and Airforce will unlock.

National spirits
In the years that followed, Guichard ruthlessly crushed any opposition to his rule, both from Republican hopefuls and Imperial loyalists, earning him the nickname of 'Iron Chancellor'. However, his clear vision and indominable purpose managed to not only secure Skyfall's sovereignty, but turn it into an oasis of peace and prosperity in the war-torn lands of Griffonia. Although the light in his eyes still shines brightly, the iron chancellor is getting rusty, leaving many to fear for Skyfall's future.

- Consumer Goods Factories: -5%
- Resources to Market: +15.0%
- Trade deal opinion factor: -5.0%
Many of the more exotic artifacts and produce is sold directly in the crowded shopping streets and market squares of the city. And any being who visits our city will marvel at the sheer diversity of peoples and wares that Skyfall offers, instilling desires they didn't know they could have. Of course, what is bought and sold in the city ultimately matters little, as long as a portion of that unfathomable wealth reaches our treasury.

- Daily Political Power Gain: -0.15
- Recruitable Population Factor: -20%
- Stability: -50.0%
- Daily Harmony Support: +0.01
- Daily Communism Support: +0.01
- Daily Supremacy Support: +0.01
Without any restrictions to trade, local manufacturing and agriculture have the impossible task of competing with the entire world. Many non-trading businesses failed, leaving many griffons without a livelihood, especially outside of Skyfall itself. This social and economic inequality will continue to take its toll on the populace, until some sort of solution is found.

Born: 15th of March, 914 in Skyfall City
Nickname: The Most Hated Griffon in Griffonia Biography: Ghislain Guichard was born sixth child to a Feathesian noblechick and a prominent industrialist. Young Ghislain did well in school, particularly in regards to mathematics he particularly loved. Being sixth in line, nogriff believed that he would gain much of an inheritance and so some pushed him to join the imperial army as many in his situation do. But this was not to be Ghislain's fate. When he was twenty-four, and just out of studying at Romau university, he asked his father's permission to take over the running of an unprofitable cloth mill that the family-owned in the countryside, and had planned to shut down. His father instead loaned his son the money to buy the factory from him and made him pay off the debt. Ghislain threw himself into his work and, within a year, he had paid back his father's loan. Soon enough, he was buying up smaller factories in the countryside and consolidating his financial power. One by one he even bought out his brothers, showing a complete disregard for such weak concepts as "family", preferring to indulge in the pursuit of money instead. |

Born: 4th of August 976
Rank: Born in 976 ALB to a poor family in Skyfall, faith has been a constant in Gertjan Desramaux's life. His father, a former member of the Imperial navy, retired from his position after Skyfall seized the fleet. Supporting his wife and child as a dock worker, the Desramauxs were rarely in a comfortable position, leaving a sour impression of the detached capitalists of Skyfall- in particular bankers- apon the young Gertjan. Taking to a temple at a young age- often visiting the local temple of Boreas with his mother- he never wavered in his belief. As he matured, he found himself taking a growing interest in theology and law- as well as in media and oration. Finding inspiration in firebrand preaching, he quickly took an interest in politics as he grew into young adulthood. At the age of twenty, Desramaux set off to Bruma, having been admitted to the city's university for a degree in law. During his studies of law, the young griffon worked as an editor for the university's newspaper. Never truly taking to the study of law, he failed his final exams three times over, finally resigning to return to his home city. With his newfound experience, he quickly realised that his birthplace had even more issues than he had before believed- not only were the people toiling under unfair oligarchs, but as a reaction, syndicalism was on the rise, and many of the city's poor had taken to debauched crime and prostitution out of desperation. Appalled by the state of his city, he began his career as a fiery orator, promoting faith in Boreas and traditional values- all while denouncing the capitalists who had let the city fall into such a state of moral decay. Desramaux found mass success after a series of banking scandals, which he used to propel himself- and the Boreaiste- into the public eye. Establishing themselves as the most prominent populist religious movement in the city. Despite push back from many, with time more within the temples, commoner and official, began to turn to the Boreaiste. Following the Chancellor's attempt on his life, Desramaux fled into the countryside of Skyfall, taking refuge with a small contingency of loyalists. As large scale rioting began to erupt following the Chancellor's condition, Desramaux quickly set off to the city, knowing that whether the Chancellor was alive or not he needed to make a move- following the tumultous revolution, Desramaux took power, promising a bright future for the faithful of Skyfall... |

Born: 30th of July 945 in Skyfall
Biography:Born into a family of industrialists, Heinrich Kessler never really knew anything but wealth. However, he had little interest in the enamel products of the family and was fascinated even as a fledgling by the new technology pouring into Skyfall from Equestria. And so, rather than continuing the family business, he branched out and opened his first car factory in 968, convinced that he was that the automobile was the vehicle of the future. His first models saw limited success outside of the nobility, professional racers and wealthy merchants class. 978 was a turning point for Kessler's business. Unable to access the Griffonian market, he was facing bankruptcy but crisis allowed him to reveal his business savvy. The Kessler model G which would go on to be nicknamed either the Guichard in Skyfall or the Grover elsewhere was a different beast entirely. Reliable, sturdy and most importantly affordable, it became a symbol of the success of the newly independent Skyfall and Kessler was celebrated by his compatriot. Over time, Kessler grew distant of his benefactor Guichard and his policies. His business plans were hitting an obstacle: most workers were unable to buy his cars and trucks, even the most affordable and there was only so much cost-cutting he could do from factory efficiency. As a result, he began to become a major advocate of welfare and wage increase, not out of a desire for equality or a more just society but out of a savvy business strategy. And as chancellor, he may finally reach his goals. Portrait By: Scroup |

Born: 17th of April 968 in Skyfall
Biography: Born into the immensely wealthy Von Hochsklaue family, Ferdinand enjoyed the best education and leisure money could buy throughout his childhood and teenage years. Very early on, he was thrust into the world of money and politics by his family. The Von Hochsklaue, due to their lowly rank, had many grievances with the privileges less successful families enjoyed at the Imperial Court. And so, when Ghislain Guichard seceded from the Empire, they became one of his primary backers. When he graduated from the University of Skyfall, the young Ferdinand seemed to be the typical inept heir: obese, entitled, self-indulging and very elitist in all things. He was given a position at the Von Hochsklaue Bank and all thought he would be more of a liability than anything else. However, he proved himself to be a genius financier, expanding all accounts he was given responsibility for and frequently creating new ones. He also proved himself to be ruthless, sabotaging and professionally humiliating any banker who had wronged him, even if it had simply been rude to him. At the beginning of the eleventh century, he had begun to assume a leading role in his family affairs and forged himself a new reputation, one of a philanthropist and a patron of the arts. The press did accuse him of self-dealing through his charitable foundations but libel suits quickly followed. He joined the Trade Federation Council in 1002, taking over the seat of his old mother and after Guichard's death, schemed his way to chancellorship. Now, he stands ready to lead Skyfall and his family to heights never seen before. Portrait By: Rich May |

This gave him the assets to join the Council and eventually fight his way to chancellorship. Portrait By: Squiggles |

Born: 7th of September 958 in Griffton
Biography: Walter Whitefeather was born the only son of a family of school teachers. Intelligent and a good student, he had the chance to study chemistry in Yale. Promised to a bright future, his scholarship was discontinued due to the Griffonian Revolution and he was forced to continue his studies in Skyfall. After graduation, he joined a promising chemical company which he left due to personal differences. And so he was reduced to follow in his parent's pawsteps: teaching. This could have been the end of the story for Walter but one of his student - a young griff involved with the Skyfall mob - sought his help after getting in trouble over opium quality. Against expectation, Walter agreed and after seeing the kind of money there was in the opium trade, he began to involve himself more directly. What happened next is shrouded in mystery but the simple school teacher proved himself to be a brutally effective criminal. Without ever putting himself in harm's way, he managed to kill his competition, rose in the ranks and eventually took over.

After the death of the Ghislain Guichard and surfing on the wave of his Golden Griffon Cigarettes brand, he sought the ultimate position: the chancellorship of the Trade Federation. Having once again crushed his competition, he now seeks to make full use of Skyfall's power to establish a Griffonian Drug Empire. Allegedly. Portrait By: Nyatta |

"Born:23rd of December 957
Biography: Adalbert Growder was born to a moderately well off family in the city of Skyfall in 957. Born on the cusp of complete industrialization his father served as a banker working for one of the city's emerging capitalist magnates. His father considered himself an intellectual and always kept the house stocked with books of all types, of which Adalbert was a voracious reader. One day he began to read a specific book by a pony named Caramel Marks who advocated for the worker's revolution and liberation from the capitalism. The rest of the Growder family considered this a phase and paid little heed to the amounts of socialist literature flowing into Adalbert's room. When he was twenty years old, Growder decided he would make his breakout into the socialist world, attending a rally to call for the freedom of another prominent socialist of the time, with whom he would later butt heads, Hendrik Rosebeak. Growder had honed his skills as an orator as much as he could over the years and stood upon a crate of industrial parts and began to deliver a fiery speech against the oppressive capitalist system and spouted his own modifications of Marksian ideas to the griffons who had gathered that day. As his speech gathered in intensity he began to rile the crowd to a fever pitch and at its climax, declared the beginning of the Skyfall revolution. Following this, he was quickly arrested by the police and thrown in a cell. Little did he know, but this would be a blessing in disguise. For the next year, he began work on a combination biography and treatise on his ideas which he would title "My Life, for and by the Revolution", which quickly became popular amongst the radicals of the city as well as the other republican elements who recognized the power this griffon may have in his writings. But this potential was for naught as the events of 978 unfolded. Growder remained in his cell while his city became soaked in blood, revolutionary blood. The display of violence hardened Growder even further to his radical ideas. After his release Growder would stay on the sidelines of revolutionary politics for a while, only emerging when he believed revolution was once more inevitable in Skyfall. And now he stands at the helm of his nation, which he would remake in his image. Portrait By: Didicody" |

Born: 21st of July 972
Biography:Clotbeak De Altesburg was born in 972 to what in Skyfall was considered a middle class family. His father owned a small dockyard in the city's port and was involved in the construction, repair, and refurbishment of ships; as well as having money invested in both trade and fishing. His mother was a commoner from the countryside who moved to the city to marry rich and live high, but ended up finding a true loving partner instead. Clotbeak's father was a well known philanthropist in Skyfall for years before and after the birth of his son and cared immensely for the workers under his care. But the entire family's life was turned upside down when the revolution came to the continent. The revolutionary forces in the nation forced Clotbeak's father to flee to the shores of Nova Griffonia while the rest of the family hid in a small house that had been inherited from his mother's family. As war wracked the town, the De Altesburg family became famous in their small town for shielding Griffons of all manners from violence, including an Imperial commander who they even convinced to peacefully surrender to the Republicans, instead of sentencing his troops to certain death. This was the world Clotbeak De Altesburg grew up in. As he matured he saw the republicans driven out, the rise of Guichard, as well as the increasing burden of the hated griff's age, his father had to stay in Nova Griffonia since Guichard thought him dangerous to have around. In 1000 Clotbeak moved back into the city of Skyfall and became linked with revolutionary groups. Often preferring reform to violence, the revolution following Guichard's death allowed him to rally together more moderate voices in Skyfall to establish, in his own words "A government ruling with a gentle wing, not with a sharpened claw" Portrait By: Scroup" |

One day while making a speech to his fellow workers, a group of thugs entered the factory. Calling themselves a "private police force" they stated they were there to arrest Rosebeak on charges including treason, murder, assault, and abuse of a young child who they refused to name and wouldn't take him to.

Perkunas |
See description:
Born: 23rd of October, 982 in Moonlight Bay
Rank: Brigadegeneraal Biography: When Perkunas was a young thestral foal, he was described as quiet and nervous, and no one expected him to accomplish much in his life. But his reputation changed when he gained his cutie mark during a dare where he flew through a thunderstorm and survived unscathed. It was said he danced with the lightning without fear. When he was eighteen years old, Nightmare Moon returned from her exile. The return of the Princess of the Night gave Perkunas hope about the distrust of thestrals coming to an end. However, this did not come to pass, even after Nightmare Moon was reformed into Princess Luna. Little was done to improve the situation of the bat ponies. This unhappiness turned to anger when Perkunas was turned down from entering the military despite his education. Therefore Perkunas decided to leave Equestria and join a mercenary company. Since then, Perkunas has gained a reputation as a competent, if indecisive commander. His claim to fame is inducing thunderstorms with pegasi, using the lightning to strike targets. While the thunderbolts soften the enemy, he and his unit fly with the storm. Many pegasi and griffons find this unnerving, but soon learn that they are in capable hoofs as long as they follow Perkunas' dance. Portrait By: Sesek |

Strategies and guides
Starting Situation
Skyfall is a coastal nation on the west of Griffonia. Skyfall starts as a relatively industrialized nation with 22 factories (6 military factories, 9 civilian, and 7 naval dockyards). They border the nations of Township of Fezera,
County of Greifwald, and
Grand Duchy of Feathisia.
Threats and Opportunities
Haukland and
Fezera - these two neighbors can be annexed, peacefully or militarily, via political focuses, providing needed extra factories and resources. More importantly, Skyfall will receive cores for these territories, strengthening its weak population base.
- The
Griffonian Empire is Skyfall's chief threat. One it has reunited its loose central vassals into a state, its first step of reconquest will be Skyfall if the Archon is the regent. If the Duchess is regent then Skyfall will be attacked much later along with the rest of western Griffonia. Although Skyfall can industrially match the Empire, it will struggle to project its low manpower effectively in an offensive push into Griffonian territory against more numerous Empire forces.
- The
Aquileia is close to Skyfall, and will eventually seek to enforce its claims against Fezera, (which Skyfall will have integrated). However a Democratic Aquileia will invite Skyfall to join the Entente, providing a strong bulwark against the Griffonian Empire, and preventing claims as long as Skyfall remains in the faction.
- The
Griffonian Republic to the North is a likely ally, and may recruit Skyfall into its Pan-Griffonian Republic, or it may join Aquileia in the Entente if it forms. However this aid is unlikely to arrive quickly enough and its limited military strength will leave it struggling to hold against the greater Griffonian Empire.
County of Greifwald has little interaction with Skyfall, despite being a neighbour. However a non-aligned Greifwald will seek a guarantee from either Aquileia or the Griffonian Empire which can deter Skyfall from attacking. A Supremacy Greifwald will eventually join the Griffonian Empire which can provide disastrous if the extended frontline is not prepared for.
- Trade Partners - The Open For Business! focus will offer nations around the world opportunities to trade with Skyfall, in the event of a war, every trade partner can immediately provide a volunteer division for the war.
Gameplay Mechanics
The Treasury
Since, the nation of Skyfall is a nation of trade, commerce, and exported goods. Money will flow through the nation en masse. Money is a critical part of Skyfall's economy and politics. The money in Skyfall is called Idols and the player will have to manage their funds and accumulate more. You can use idols to raise ponypower, increase stability, gain temporary buffs, and so much more. The way to gain Idols playing as Skyfall is accepting trade deals from other nations around the world. If you accept a trade deal, you will gain 250,000 idols per month for four months per trade partner. Certain events and completing focuses can either increase or decrease your idols and start to make profit off other nations.
The Power Struggle
If you complete the Our Prosperous Little Nation path of the starting political tree. Ghislain will succumb to old age and with no successor or heir chosen.
