A group of medieval adventurers must participate in a war against dark forces in the land of Lodoss.

On the cursed island continent of Lodoss, a party of adventurers becomes caught up in the struggle against a plot to conquer Lodoss and revive a long-dormant ancient evil deity. This thirteen-part Japanese television series is based on a series of Japanese novels, and is notable among other things for its inclusion of elements from the Dungeons & Dragons (TM) role-playing game.—Christopher E.

In the severed land of Lodoss, a Party of adventurers lead by Parn, the son of a great soldier believed a traitor by the inhabitants of his village set out to discover the cause for the unrest in their lands. Comprising of Parn, the would-be knight; Deedlit, the elven spellsword; Atoh, the cleric of Marpha; Ghim, a dwarf with a mission of mercy; Slayn, a great but humble mage and Woodchuck, a cowardly thief, the party soon realise that there is more at stake than their own lives. The island of Marmo, severed from the main continent during a war of gods, is the home of many evil and dangerous races and now they seem to be putting aside their own petty differences and massing as a major force under the guidance of Emperor Beld and his lieutenant Lord Ashram. Fighting Goblins, Gnolls, Dragons and all manner of vicious foes, the companions must learn to put aside their personal and racial differences and work as a team as they realise the fate set to befall their beloved land at the hands of Beld and an mysterious foe, known simply as the "Scarlet Witch".—Anonymous
