Literally the convalescent home from FFV joins the roster. An old man and an aged wolf confirmed for Sma5h.
"Let's see how you like my Pine Attack!" - Kelger
"Don't worry...I'll always be with you when you need me..." - Xezat
"STELLA!!!" - Dorgann
When Exdeath awoke from the Great Forest of Moore, he wreaked devastation on the land until the Dawn Warriors—Galuf Halm Baldesion, Dorgann Klauser, Kelger Vlondett, and Xezat Matias Surgate—drove him to Bartz's World. They defeated him in battle but lacked the power to kill him, and thus sealed him using the power of the four crystals of the world.
Dorgann felt that leaving Exdeath in an unwitting world was wrong, and remained to watch over the seal. The other three returned to their homeworld and took up rulership of their countries. Dorgann settled in Lix and married Stella, passing away from an illness three years prior when his son, Bartz Klauser, was 17.
During their adventure, the Light Warriors get help several times from the Warriors of Dawn, though all of them eventually perish during the struggle against the revived Exdeath: Xezat is killed in the Barrier Tower, Galuf falls in battle against Exdeath (his granddaughter Krile inherits his position), and Kelger uses the last of his strength to help dispel an illusion on Castle Exdeath.

Relics
Good news is that this event lasts 3 weeks.
Bad news is we don't know what changes will happen to the anniversary banners, what becomes of this odd new DeNa relics survey, or if Xezat and Kelger will ever see new SB's again.
What we do know, is that this banner is the earth and ice motherload. Banner 1 has all sorts of earth and ice + gear that it'll make your head spin.
Ultra EX/Chase Type Glossary:
Spoiler: show
Banner 1:
Dorgann, Bartz's father, leads us off on B1 with his USB. Earth/wind x10 on entry with a 100% Def boost, en-earth, and a rank based chase 'Sandstorm' hitting with 2-6 hits of earth/wind/non damage after using Knight abilites.
His Atk/Def +AoE imperil earth BSB returns as well.
Xezat does what Sora did, just not as well. Damn you, ©Disney! This spellblade's USB entry is 10x hits of ice/lightning, one turn of 2x cast speed, en-ice, and an ability class boost based on rank for Spellblade, capping out at 30% for a 5-6* ability.
Xezat's BSB is a touch more what you would expect from a non ©Disney character. 8x ice/lightning random hits carrying an imperil-ice on entry. His C1 is 3 ranged Spellblade ice/lightning hits carrying a 15% Spellblade boost for 3 uses and C2 is a 2x ranged AoE attack with an Atk/Def bargain.
Finally, his SSB offering is a bit on the 'meh' side, with 6 hits of ST ice/lightning damage and a party ether.
Kelger is the earth ninja people have been waiting for. USB entry is 10x earth/wind damage with a self Physical Blink, Ninja rank boost, and a 'Lupine' chase of 4x ST earth/wind/non Ninja damage with +2 hits for each Physical Blink on the caster. the chase is triggered by earth element use.
His BSB is close to standard fare of Yuffie and Edge, 8x ST earth/wind hits with en-earth on entry. C1 carries 4x earth/wind hits with a reduced cast time, and C2 is 2x ST earth/wind with a Physical Blink - also with reduced cast time.
His SSB offering is much better than his Dawn Warrior brethren, offering an instant 40% medica and Physical Blink.
Galuf gains a new BSB here, but with a cut and dry entry of 8x ST earth/fire with imperil-earth. The good news is that his commands play better with Monk abilities. C1 carries 4x earth/fire ST hits, while is 2x earth/fire but a crit fix of 50%. His USB returns to finish off this banner.
Banner 2:
Krile gains an Ultra, packing a potent portents of problematic proportions. 10x ST fire/non damage with a Mag/Res boost, en-fire, and a 'Flame Dance' rank-based chase triggered by fire abilities.
Her chain is not here, but her OSB is.
Bartz continues his streak of new BSB. When will the madman stop? His fire offering brings 8x ST fire/non with en-fire. His commands are pretty cut and dry though, with C1 carrying 4x ST fire/non and C2 3 hits but with a 15% Spellblade boost for 3 turns.
His much more utilitarian water BSB and multi element OSB shows up here to quell all the flame dancing.
The rest of the banner is reruns.
