Record of the Lodoss War

Long ago, a titanic war ended between 2 gods which split the land into two islands. One of them is the island of Lodoss. The peace on Lodoss is being disrupted, and Parn decides to find out why. Almost by accident, he forms a band to help on his quest. The band consists of: an elf, a dwarf, a cleric, a wizard, a thief, and a warrior (Parn). The OAV series follows their adventures. This series has a very heavy Role-Playing-Game(RPG) influence to it.
