Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight

Parn, now the Free Knight of Lodoss, leads a group of former allies who have gained recognition throughout the land five years after the War of Heroes. However, their newfound fame is threatened by the ambitions of Ashram, the former right-hand man to the Emperor of Marmo, who seeks the scepter of domination to reunify Lodoss under the Emperor's banner. Ashram's goal is complicated by an emerging force that may ultimately lead to the return of the goddess of death and destruction.
