Mmm another picture of my rewrite/AU of WoF??? Yessir.

"The sucess of the Skywings fusturate me to no end. Mountains of gems, they have. Mountains! Rubies the size of my fist, diamonds that sparkle with ostentation, every conceivable color of precious stone spilling from their land. Meanwhile, here in the Ice Kingdom, since Diamond's reign, our glory has ran dry. Not a single decent gem to be found, barely enough metal to forge a proper spear, let alone adorn a first circle's talons. No more animus, (I wouldn't be surprised if Darkstalker enchanted the Icewings to never hold animus genes again.) An economic slump, they called it, from the castle itself, to the seventh circle. A reality I couldn't, wouldn't, let the other tribes know. But I shouldn't waste my time on more opinionated subjects...
The proposal of the Nightwing tribe is interesting, despite our... differences. The Nightwings want to unite all tribes together, starting with an academy program to learn more about each other and lead a centaury of peace. Realistically, it could never prevail to the extent they say it will. But I can't lie it doesn't have me interested. They want a royal. From all tribes, preferably princesses. To "show goodwill to the next heirs of the thrones". They've been willing to show their princesses face just to prove their intentions are true.
I don't necassaily have to extend any of my daughters to the academy, of which they dubbed "Jade Mountain Academy", dabbed in the middle of Pyrrhia. I could send my neice, Icicle, instead. But it's risky... but the possibilites of... benefits are too good to ignore.
I'll have another talk with all the queens about this subject. After all, some seem wholly into the idea."

Soo we get a sneak peak into both economic standing of the Ice Kingdom and the Sky Kingdom.
The Sky Kingdom has a bit of an overconsumption problem.. and by bit, I mean they're literally drowning themselves in ungodly amounts of gold n stuff. They are ... Out of touch, with the rest of Pyhrria. They simply just do not experience the more muted lifestyle, after all. Massive celebrations for something as little as the sun looked quite nicely on Flare's scales. Why they don't run out? Well, in this rewrite. Skywings didn't kill their Animus. But Nightwings did. (After Darkstalker ofc) So, their mountain is essentially enchanted. Lmao. Everything is basically free in the SkyWing Kingdom.... If you're a Skywing.
And I think a lot of the economic wealth and standing is based on how much gold/resources you have, like real life. Skywings have essentially just.. blocked themselves in. No need to interact with the outside world when they have nothing to offer. Isolationism!
