Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight is a manga adaptation of the two-part novel Record of Lodoss War: The Holy Knight of Lodoss. It was written by Ryo Mizuno and drawn by Masato Natsumoto. The manga was originally released in Japan in January 1998 by Kadokawa Shoten Publishing. Two re-releases were done in 1999 and 2004. An English version was released by CPM Manga in 2001. The plot overlaps with episodes 9 to 27 of the 1998 anime series, due to both sharing source material, but isn't identical. The anime is more faithful to the novels.
Chronicles of the Heroic Knight is six volumes long. In this story Parn's role is diminished and the plot rather focusses on Spark and company's attempt to stop Kardis' resurrection at the hands of Wagnard.
Synopsis[]
During Spark's watch, the Soul Crystal Ball is stolen from Flaim's treasury and Marmo is behind it. Spark is tasked by King Kashue to retrieve the Governor's Treasure, aided by mercenaries Garrack and Leaf, a half-elf, the sorcerer Aldonova and the dwarf Greevus. On their journey they meet the thief Ryna and the young priestess Little Neese. As the party continues to look for the Soul Crystal Ball, they learn who is truly behind its theft and for what purpose it had been stolen. The treasure is just one of three items needed to complete a sinister task.
