i mean, i was able to stop the war many times, with some various people. i just keep getting forced to move south permanently because i had to do robbery and stuff for the relics to heal the south
Okay, go the Historian Route when you do your attempt to heal the South. Jo knows how to pull it off in a way that doesn't tip off anyone about the fact that artifacts got stolen until it is too late. It also helps with Sussie's issues so you won't have to worry about her causing an incident. You can still go South if you want, but you can definitely return home in this version.
