As you all know, or should know, the entire Lodoss series is based on the novels Ryo Mizuno wrote based on Group SNE's role-palying campaign based on the system and characters he created. The most popular scenario was that of Lodoss. Throughout the 80s, Mizuno recorded their adventures with this campaign and created 7 novels. The first novel(The Grey Witch) was the basis for the Grey Witch manga series and the first 8 OAV episodes. The second novel(The Demon of Flame) was the basis for the manga series of the same name, the 4CD radio drama and is loosely the basis for Welcome to Lodoss Island movie and manga. The 3rd and 4th novels(The Dragon of Fire Dragon Mountain pt. 1 and 2) are the basis of the last 5 OAV episodes and the first 8 episodes of the TV series. The 6th and 7th novels are the basis for the PC game "Record of Lodoss War 2," the new Heroic Knight Manga series and the TV series from episode 9 and up.
The success of the Lodoss saga promted Mizuno to write more novels. He came up with a 3 volume set of side stories based on the Lodoss setting. Mizuno also created a Legends of Lodoss storyline. These novels were the basis for the Lady of Pharis manga series. A second set of side stories based on Legends of Lodoss is still running in Japan. There is also a Shin-Lodoss series running in Kadokawa's "The Sneaker '98" magazine.
