[From Anime News Network]:

A long time ago, there was a tremendous war between the goddess of Creation and the goddess of Destruction, which made the earth trembled. Both goddesses perished in the war and created what people called a cursed land - Lodoss. Something evil is happening in the land of Lodoss. Parn, a reckless young warrior, along with his newfound friends, takes on a quest to find out the source of this evil and becomes involved in the greatest epic struggle between good and evil since the war of the goddesses.

Parn, the hotheaded young fighter and the main character of the "Record of Lodoss War", always rushed into actions for the good of Lodoss and pure justice. Therefore, he always took away all the focus from the more passive main character and yet his partner, Deedlit the Elf. As in the name, "Deedlit's Tale", this is totally contributed to this beloved character. Artworks were done by Setsuko Yoneyama. This Manga adapts the novel of the same name into a two book Manga sequence. While reading this Manga, readers will find themselves feeling the heart of a young girl (one hundred and seventy years old is considered to be young for a high elf) and witnessing the romantic story of these two great heroes.

When an all-female adventuring team needs a mage, the only one they can get on short notice is the burly adopted son of the head of the local mage guild. Not only does Louie look more like a fighter than a mage, he acts like it, too, getting into all manner of trouble and trying to solve it with his fists. And when the team's cleric learns that her god has assigned to her a special relationship with Louie, well, let's just say she's less than happy.

There was a time when Lodoss Island was pure and the forces of light and darkness were in balance. It only took the greed of one man to change the face of Lodoss forever. Now it's up to the warriors of legend to restore the tenuous balance.

This is the conflict that will decide the future of Lodoss Island! The forces of Light and Darkness are at odds, and only a rag-tag band of warriors stands between a powerful succubus and the destruction of all creation!
