LEYLIA SPOILER!
LE
Leylia is a priestess of Marfa whose disappearance motivates Ghim's entire journey, although for much of the OVA the audience sees her without knowing who she really is. Before vanishing, she helped nurse the injured dwarf back to health and became someone he cared about deeply. Karla takes possession of Leylia through the Grey Witch's circlet and uses her body while manipulating the War of Heroes. Ghim eventually recognizes the woman beneath Karla's identity and refuses to abandon her. His final attack knocks away the circlet and restores Leylia to herself, though it costs him his life. Freed from Karla, Leylia carries both gratitude and grief, as well as knowledge of the witch that few living people possess.
LEYLIA THROUGH THE ARCHIVE //
MARMO, THE DARK ISLAND //
Open page →Wagnard's endgame is a resurrection ritual beneath Marmo. Deedlit is taken as the high elf sacrifice, the Scepter supplies power, and the ceremony moves deeper into the buried darkness under the island while Parn's allies fight to reach her.
The scale of the ritual is visible above and below ground. Narse rises to guard Marmo. Undead creatures keep returning. Mycen arrives to fight the dark dragon. At the altar, Ashram attacks Wagnard for his own reasons while Parn is trying to save Deedlit.

Why it matters
The final battle works because several stories meet at one place: Parn and Deedlit, Ashram and Beld's legacy, Wagnard and Kardis, and the dragons of Lodoss. Nobody arrives for exactly the same reason.
