Record of Lodoss War

Record of Lodoss War
   The world of Forceria contains Lodoss, Alecrast, Azarn Islands, Djana En, Crystania, the Chaos and Far lands. Within this world ages ago there was a great battle between the gods of light and darkness. The resulting catastrophe broke the world creating the various continents.This Anime captured the feel of Dungeons & Dragons. Many of the iconic artwork and stylings are patterned from some of the more iconics D&D games (Dragonlance for example...).

  On Lodoss though is where much of the story takes place. Before the Saga even begins, we are told of another battle that took place ages ago, one in which the old generations of Heroes managed to defeat a great evil and sets the stage for the new Heroes. Unfortunately, due to real life issues with the producers.... there are two canon-version of the series; "The Record of Lodoss War" and "Chronicles of the Heroic Knight". Either way the Anime is rich with lovable characters, most famous is Deedlit the elf. Although where "Lodoss War" ends, the Legend of Crystannia begins as the tale of two the villains are continued there.
  As a gaming world, you have Lodoss which has a simple history of gods and goddess of both light and the dark. Humans are the predominent race, while Dwarves are uncommon, and Elves seem far and few in between as they mainly dwell within the Faerie World. Orc, Goblins and other dark creatures usually stay hidden, but when great evil arises.... they become very active.

A campaigns setting published under the Fuzion system was published and the original fan made PDF can be found here.
