Record of Lodoss War (ロードス島戦記 Rōdosu-tō Senki?, lit., "Lodoss Island War Chronicle") is a franchise of fantasy novels byRyo Mizuno based around the work he originally created for a world called Forcelia for role-playing games (RPGs). There have since been multiple manga, anime and computer game adaptations, several of which have been translated into English. The plots generally follow the conventions and structure of the RPG systems including Dungeons & Dragons and Sword World RPG, being based around a party of several characters of distinct types undertaking a specific quest.

Origins[edit]

Record of Lodoss War was created in 1986 by Group SNE as a Dungeons & Dragons "replay" serialized in the Japanese magazineComptiq. Replays are not novels, but transcripts of RPG sessions, meant to both hold the interest of readers and convey the events that took place. They have proven to be popular, even to those who do not play role-playing games but are fans of fiction (including fantasy fiction). Similar to light novels, many characters and parties in replays have become popular as characters of anime. An example of such a character is the female elf Deedlit in Record of Lodoss War, who was played by science fiction novelist Hiroshi Yamamoto during the RPG sessions.
The popularity of the Record of Lodoss War replays was such that the Dungeon Master Ryo Mizuno started to adapt the story into some of the earliest Japanese-language domestic high fantasy novels in 1988.
When the replay series went on to become a trilogy, Group SNE had to abandon the Dungeons & Dragons rules and create their own game, dubbed Record of Lodoss War Companion and released in 1989. All three parts of the replay series were eventually published as paperbacks by Kadokawa Shoten from 1989 to 1991:
  • RPG Replay Record of Lodoss War I (ＲＰＧリプレイ ロードス島戦記Ⅰ Aru Pī Jī Ripurei Rōdosutō Senki Wan?)—Parn's party, retake played according to the Record of Lodoss War Companion rules and incorporating elements from the novelization
  • RPG Replay Record of Lodoss War II (ＲＰＧリプレイ ロードス島戦記Ⅱ Aru Pī Jī Ripurei Rōdosutō Senki Tū?)—Orson's party, retake played according to the Record of Lodoss War Companion rules and incorporating elements from the novelization
  • RPG Replay Record of Lodoss War III (ＲＰＧリプレイ ロードス島戦記Ⅲ Aru Pī Jī Ripurei Rōdosutō Senki Surī?)—Spark's party, played according to the Record of Lodoss War Companion rules
The last volume of Mizuno's novelization was published by Kadokawa Shoten in 1993, and followed by two collections of short stories in 1995:
  • Record of Lodoss War 0: The Lady of Pharis
  • Record of Lodoss War 1: The Grey Witch (ロードス島戦記 灰色の魔女 Rōdosutō Senki Haiiro no Majo?)
  • Record of Lodoss War 2: Blazing Devil (ロードス島戦記2 炎の魔神 Rōdosutō Senki Ni: Honō no Majin?)
  • Record of Lodoss War 3: The Demon Dragon of Fire Dragon Mountain (Part 1) (ロードス島戦記3 火竜山の魔竜(上) Rōdosutō Senki San: Karyū-zan no Maryū (Jō)?)
  • Record of Lodoss War 4: The Demon Dragon of Fire Dragon Mountain (Part 2) (ロードス島戦記4 火竜山の魔竜(下) Rōdosutō Senki Yon: Karyū-zan no Maryū (Ge)?)
  • Record of Lodoss War 5: The Kings' Holy War (ロードス島戦記5 王たちの聖戦 Rōdosutō Senki Go: Ōtachi no Seisen?)
  • Record of Lodoss War 6: The Holy Knights of Lodoss (Part 1) (ロードス島戦記6 ロードスの聖騎士(上) Rōdosutō Senki Roku: Rōdosu no Seikishi (Jō)?)
  • Record of Lodoss War 7: The Holy Knights of Lodoss (Part 2) (ロードス島戦記7 ロードスの聖騎士(下) Rōdosutō Senki Shichi: Rōdosu no Seikishi (Ge)?)
  • High Elf Forest: Deedlit Story (ハイエルフの森 ディードリット物語 Hai Erufu no Mori Dīdoritto Monogatari?)
  • The Black Knight (黒衣の騎士 Kokui no Kishi?)
The first volume forms the basis for the first eight episodes of the Record of Lodoss War OVA series, as well as the Record of Lodoss War: The Grey Witch manga series. The second was also adapted in manga form, and as a four-CD radio drama. The final five episodes of the OVA series are loosely based on the story told across the third and fourth novels and, having caught up with the ongoing novelization at that point, feature an original ending. The Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight TV series is a more faithful adaptation of volumes three to seven. The first collection of short stories was adapted into the Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit's Tale manga series.
Mizuno later went on to pen two new series of novels: a prequel titled Legend of Lodoss (ロードス島伝説 Rōdosu-tō Densetsu?)(1994 to 2002) and a sequel titled Record of Lodoss War Next Generation (新ロードス島戦記 Shin Rōdosu-tō Senki?) (1998 to 2006), the first of which forms the basis for the Record of Lodoss War: The Lady of Pharis manga series.

Characters[edit]

Further information: List of Record of Lodoss War characters
The manga (and its anime derivative) Record of Lodoss War centers around the adventures of a youth by the name of Parn, the son of a dishonored knight. Part of his motivation for adventuring is to find out what happened to his father, and to restore his family's honor. Despite his inexperience, Parn is considered the leader, who is accompanied by his childhood best friend Etoh, his friend and sometimes advisor Slayn (and later by Slayn's lover Leylia), and his newfound mentor Ghim. They are accompanied by Parn's romantic interest, the high elf Deedlit, who comes from the Forest of No Return seeking an answer to her people's isolationism and an end to what she sees as a slow march to extinction and a thief named Woodchuck. Throughout the series, Parn comes into contact with friends and foes alike. His allies include King Kashue, King Fahn, Shiris, and Orson; his enemies include Emperor Beld, Ashram, and the evil necromancer Wagnard.
The manga and its anime derivative Chronicles of the Heroic Knight continues the adventures of Parn for the first eight episodes, but then centers around Spark and his adventures to complete a quest tasked onto him to protect Neese, the daughter of Slayn and Leylia. He is accompanied by his own cast of friends in the form of Leaf, Garrack, Greevus, Aldo, and Ryna. The television series shares similarities with the plot of the OVA, such as Wagnard seeking to kidnap Neese in order to use her as a reagent for the resurrection of Naneel, a priestess and the Avatar of Kardis who was slain by Leylia's mother, the high priestess Neese a short time after the battle with the demonic god. Leylia was the reincarnation of Naneel, but when she lost her virginity she was no longer capable of being the doorway or reagent needed to unseal Naneel.
The third series, Legend of Crystania, places the former villain Ashram into the seat of a would-be hero who is placed under a spell by a "god beast" of Crystania. The series then centers around Pirotess, his dark elven lover, as she tries to find a way to free him from the clutches of the spell and to restore him back to his living self.

Timeline[edit]

The following is a timeline of the events as they take place in the original events surrounding Record of Lodoss War, and is derived from the replays and manga. All events are measured on the "NRC" (New Royal Calendar) as used on the continent of Alecrast.

Azzard, a sorcerer, strikes a covenant in which Jinn and Ifrit become guardian deities of a tribe in northern Lodoss, to protect the tribe from the attacks of Kastuul. The covenant causes the desertification of the region. Over time, the tribe splits into the Wind tribe and the Flame tribe. Later, sorcerers of Kastuul seals the two deities inside two sacred urns and ignites hostility between the two tribes.
NRC 0A magic ritual fails and destroys the Tower of Magic, which magnifies the magical ability of a person through a crystal implant at the front of the peron's forehead.
