When you get to Chapter 15 go pick the Fort Option (if you visit the church with Leaf visiting the church with Leaf will end that level) You also get better characters on that route Eyrios (mage knight Olwen must not be recruited or is dead) Sleuf (Priest but with Rank A in staff) Mishia (mostly just to take her stuff you'll have to sleep staff her) and Amalda (Paladin A rank in swords C rank in staffs) B route is not good because you face more Dark mages with berserk staffs, a forest map and a ballista filled map. Characters on B route Shanam (Sword Master his bases are pathetic but he has Bargain skill), Miranda (Mage another Est in this game, but not worth it), Conomore (Paladin A Rank Swords and Lances you won't need him) Both routes have Sara (est character except shes worth it) in them but A route is easier to recruit her for you have to just enter the church with any character, B route Sara she will move places and might step on a "switch" that teleports her farther than your location, (you have to use Leaf or Salem for B route Sara)
