After the death of Baade at the hands of Cross Ward, the light elves, led by Lord Zane, take over Fort Helencia and use it as their base camp in the war with the humans. Previous to the split in the game, you can recruit twenty-one fairy creatures to your party. Choosing the Human Path loses you the ability to call upon any of your fairy creature allies or gain any more. Choosing the Fairy Path loses you all of your human allies (except for Ridley Silverlake, Ganz Rothschild and Gawain Rothschild) and you're no longer able to recruit any new ones. However, the fairy creatures boast the strongest fighter, Galvados, as well as the third (JJ) and fourth (Dyvad).
