Record of Lodoss War
Record of Lodoss War is a series of fantasy novels written by Ryo Mizuno, depicting the rise and fall of heroes and their adventures on the cursed island of “Lodoss”. Known as the pinnacle of Japanese fantasy and a pioneering work in the light novel genre, this best-selling work boasts a total circulation of over 10 million copies, as well as a wide variety of arrangements and versions in other media, including animated installments. Previous installments in the series include Record of Lodoss War, its sequel, Record of Lodoss War Next Generation, and the 2019 release Record of Lodoss War: Diadem of the Covenant.
The main characters of the story are the young knight “Parn”, and “Deedlit”, the High Elf known as the “Eternal Lady”. Together with a number of friends including priest “Etoh”, sorcerer “Slayn”, and more, they embark on an epic journey through Lodoss.
The entire series has gained a widespread and loyal following throughout the globe, with the heroine Deedlit enjoying particular popularity. In fact, it is even said that the famous fantasy trope of “High Elves having long ears” was originally inspired by Deedlit herself.
