It wouldn't be smart of Helvana to head towards a warzone anyway, but Amestris and Alefpria are wonderful places of trade and influence for her and her kids to visit. Amd who knows, she may meet one of them after end of this arc.

Well, Helvana wouldn't go near Xerxes, but she can always circle around it. I'll be going with the giant crow as a means for transport, so that's not hard to do. As for the trade part... They're dead broke. I didn't even think what method of trade the village in my intro post uses, so it's fairly safe to say that maybe they don't even know what a coin is. I'll worry about that later, though.
