"The era of the Gods was closing. Their once eternal rule had come to an end. The heavens trembled as the armies of Falis, God of Light, clashed with those of Falaris, God of Darkness. Their perpetual battle ensued. The earth wept. The seas boiled. In the end, each side had but one survivor: Marfa, Goddess of Creation, and Kardis, Goddess of Destruction. They met in a final battle that echoed to the ends of the earth. When it was over, a new land was born, broken away from the rest of the continent, and the last flames of the once-invincible forces of the Goddesses of Light and Dark flickered and died away. Thousands of years have passed, and now the land to the south of the continent of Alicrast has become known as Lodoss, the Accursed Island." - The Prologue of RoLW.

Realizing that Leylia has been possessed, Ghim ultimately sets out alone to challenge Karla and free Leylia from the Grey Witch's control. Fortunately for him, Ghim will not stand alone in this fight, even if that's not what he wants.
