Record of Lodoss War Novel Series
Ryo Mizuno, so far, has written four series of novels for Lodoss which the anime and manga have been based on. However, none of these have been published in English yet. We know of no sites that offer translations of the novels. I can provide little information for synopsis for all the novels. If you come across any English translations, please send us a link! We will eagerly welcome anyone fluent in Japanese who has the novels, and is willing to post translations.
Cover art for many of these novels was originally done by Yutaka Izabuchi, though Masato Natsumoto and a few other artists have also made contributions for cover art. Izabuchi has also produced artbooks filled with art inspired by Lodoss.
Record of Lodoss War
This series covers thirty years of Lodoss history, following mainly Parn and Deedlit beginning from the War of Heroes until the War of the Destroyer's Resurrection. It covers seven novels, plus two extra side-stories. This series was the basis for the Grey Witch and Chronicles of the Heroic Knight mangas, and the Record of Lodoss War and Chronicles of the Heroic Knight anime.
