<h2>HIGH FANTASY LOCATIONS</h2>
<p>Every location in a high fantasy world has some magical element to it: a floating castle inside a volcano, a silver palace orbiting the moon, a forest populated by fairies and natural spirits, a great tower built to reach the gods and destroyed over a single night as a form of divine punishment. Everything is bizarre and wondrous.</p>
<h2>Natural Fantasy Themes and Protagonists</h2>
<p>Floating amidst a lush expanse of verdant forests, snow-capped mountains, and crystal-clear lakes, small villages slumber peacefully, coexisting with the beasts and elemental forces of the wilderness. Underneath it all lie the ruins of mysterious past civilizations that once ruled this world of Natural Fantasy.</p>
<h2>HIGH FANTASY MAGIC</h2>
<p>Magic is abundant, omnipresent, and employed in a variety of ways and by a variety of people, from powerful court wizards to traveling healers. Golems, airships, and elementally-infused weapons are a common sight. However, the most ancient and world-altering rituals have been lost to time, hidden within sunken ruins or guarded by centuries-old monsters.</p>
<p>Tales of natural fantasy often revolve around warmth and community, harmony with nature and beasts, and the tragedy that befalls when the hearts of the people grow so dark that they twist and corrupt the very places they live in.</p>
<h2>HIGH FANTASY ANTAGONISTS</h2>
<p>In a high fantasy world, antagonists are larger-than-life figures with armies and incredible magic at their disposal. Each of them is a dark and twisted reflection of one or more of the protagonists: they are shadows that must be confronted for the heroes to grow and eventually triumph. Towards the end of the story, driven into a corner by the protagonists' actions, high fantasy villains often resort to extreme measures and transform into divine or demonic entities that defy space and time.</p>
<p>Their protagonists are often very young and come from the same village:</p>
<ul>
<li>The daughter of the village chief, seeking to prove her worth.</li>
<li>The apprentice blacksmith who saw a terrible creature in the forest.</li>
<li>The young hermit who stumbled upon the entrance to a magical ruin.</li>
<li>The witch who knows of a prophecy dating back to the Ancestors.</li>
<li>The wandering warrior who mistakenly angered a local spirit.</li>
</ul>
<p>Together they must mend the hearts of their community and confront those who stir sentiments of hatred and mistrust, to prevent this darkness from corrupting the very balance of the world around them.</p>
