This is bloody sus, Io Federation might be working with the Divine Barbarians.
Reasons like, how come their fully safe from the enemy, the enemy knows their location, they just didn't invade cuz the Magical Trees 'happens' to be incapable of growing or has 'slow' growth in that area. (Could be a correct assumption of mine, but my assumption could also be wrong either way.)
That cloth is too sus, it's too bloody plain for something that can 'boost' your strength. Even Jeanne's Elven Armor is much more than that, most likely it's not the cloth that 'boost' her but something else. Unless it was all a lie.|
And yiz, dem Dwarves being close to their territory is also bloody sus-
The Aid is the most sus definitely.
