Epic Fantasy and High Fantasy are terms that are often used interchangeably. High Fantasy takes places in an alternate world and typically includes a lot of magical elements, creatures, and systems. Epic fantasy is a sub-category of high fantasy that also includes a high-stakes plot, grand themes, and/or heroic characters. From Tolkien’s Middle-earth to Martin’s Westeros, epic fantasy weaves tales of good versus evil, with diverse characters and mythical creatures enhancing the enchanting landscapes.
