the pretender fighting for godhood sends his... son?... into hiding with three items that he could have used in his fight for godhood?

and who are we talking about here? i mean is ry'leh going to send any of the lesser beings their stuff? and I can't picture the mind-flayer child prince.

you forget that we are not feudal lards, but are in fact pretenders who want nothing more than to see every other one dead. The cost for not doing so is high. Alliances are in fact only temporary mutually beneficial agreements that we kill other people before we kill each other. there is never any real loyalty.

EDIT:
this is making me laugh now:

"Dear beloved 'ally'. It seems the enemy have overrun my empire and with it my hopes of becoming god. please accept my only child. I'm sending a diaper bag full of death gems and a handful of magic items with him"

P.s. you can throw away the kid if you want to, he was only a tissue thin rationalization anyway. just keep the goodies.
