It could be a Faunus enclave in Mistral that revieves support from Menagarie due to the possibility that Mistral is unwilling (or, if we can trust Cinder's comments, are unable) to give aid.

Though there seems indeed to be a border dispute between Vale and Vacuo. They probably settled there due to Vale not settling there first.
