Synopsis
Long ago, the last great battle between the gods split the land into two islands. One of these is the island of Lodoss, whose kingdoms have been plagued by war for thousands of years.
As peace and unity finally become foreseeable, an unknown evil begins to stir. An ancient witch has awakened, bent on creating political imbalance across the kingdoms.
Only a group of six young champions, led by the youthful warrior Parn, stands between this new threat and Lodoss' descent into the darkness of war and destruction.
Record of Lodoss War emerged from the franchise of fantasy novels by Ryo Mizuno, based around his original role-playing games. There have since been multiple manga, animé and computer game adaptations, several of which have been translated into English.
