The Skyward Alliance (SA; Daltaghli Geteliç in Çervelik) is a minor political party founded in 1706 AN to represent the interests of the Çerid in general, and the Çerid Autonomous State in particular, within Nouvelle Alexandrie. While state-level elections within the CAS are contested by a variety of political alliances based around local issues - some homegrown, others local branches of parties of human origin - the SA is currently the only purely local party with the intention of contesting the State's seat in the Parliament of Alduria and the Federal Assembly of Nouvelle Alexandrie.
History
Although the process of setting up the Çerid Autonomous State would not be completed until the following year, it was assigned a seat in the Federal Assembly in time for participation in the 1703 general elections.
Amongst the inhabitants, still in the process of adjusting to their new home and to whom the concepts of parties and elections - at least as humans knew them - were relatively new, turnout was low and very few Çerid had the time, resources or understanding to mount a successful campaign against the major human parties. In the end, the seat was won - in a rare bright spot for the party in that election - by FHP human candidate Efthimios Dreux, largely on the strength of the FHP's role in creating the CAS and of Dreux's business activities in the area, which he referred to as "investments" and "donations" but which some human observers preferred to call vote buying.
In the aftermath of the election, the inhabitants of the CAS began to have regrets about their choice. Aside from the fact that Dreux had unwisely neglected to "invest" in some groups that were slowly becoming more important in the new state's economy and government, many Çerid who were now paying more attention to how government worked were discontented with the idea that the person representing them was not a Çer. Moreover, an increasingly jaundiced eye was cast upon the ideology of the FHP as a whole, as the origin of the "Humanist" in the party's name became more understood.
A coalition of influential, or at least loudly-spoken, Çerid therefore formed with the notion that the CAS needed to be represented in higher government by a Çer and unambiguously in defense of Çer interests, and that, to increase the chances of this happening successfully in a human-dominated government, this should be done in the form of a human-style political party. The coalition officially registered as the Skyward Alliance in Template:1706, with the intention that, unlike the previous elections, there would be time to organize and recruit in preparation for the elections due in Template:1709.
