Re: Difference between high and low fantasy

High fantasy = different, author-created world. Epic scale. Fantasy elements dominate.

Low fantasy = real world, or an author-created world that obeys laws akin to the real world. Fantasy elements do not dominate.

So a low fantasy world wouldn't have things like magic or mythical creatures?

It could, but those things would be completely out of the ordinary.

Basically, a low fantasy would be like...you're in New York City. The actual New York City of right now. And you turn down an alley, and there's a centaur. And you're like, "what the fuck? I can't be seeing a centaur. That's ridiculous."

Whereas a high fantasy would be like you're walking around in Elgaloleth, City of the Fourth Magisterium, and you turn down an alley, and there's a centaur. And you're like, "oh great, just what I need: a fucking centaur."

This is a good way of putting it. Basically most urban fantasy tends to fall into low fantasy. People often equate high fantasy with elves and dwarves.
