1. GODS = FAMOUS PEOPLE Many famous people today are worshipped like they are gods. Ordinary people put famous people on a pedestal, sometimes forgetting that they are just people like you and me. Famous people from history who have done great deeds can also be perceived like gods. 2. ELVES =...

In this thread I want to discuss the history of combat magic in epic fantasy itself, with an emphasis on projectile-based magic. In Lord of the Rings, magic is rare, and it is nothing like magic in many books and video games of today. In Middle-earth there are no mages trained for wars, sorcery...

Dragons can breathe fire which makes the gryphon is disadvantaged. But the gryphon has a chance evade dragonfire and attack, especially if gryphons are hypothetically faster than dragons due to lighter weight. Its believable that multiple gryphon riders can take down a single dragon rider due...

Sorry, anime style fantasy is not my cup of tea.

Are there any epic fantasy video games of any genre that dont have tolkienesque worldbuilding and races such as orcs, dwarves, elves? The key word is epic fantasy. I am not interested in urban fantasy or historical fantasy. I understand that its hard to make your own race and that they are...

Even with some fantasy elements here and there such as revenants, I feel that this world is not fantastic enough and that it needs more fantasy elements.

I am fascinated by sea monsters. Especially by huge sea serpents, but I don't know how to involve a sea serpent into the story. What role could they have? They are sea-dwelling creatures, but most of the story takes place on land.

In this Tolkien+D&D inspired game when you choose your alignment - Earth, Water, Chaos, Death etc. You control a small squad of warriors - kind of like a fellowship in Lord of the Rings. The game has pretty outdated graphics and it sucks by today's standards, not just because of graphics. But...

Is there any other game?

Specifically I want to play as a character who rides a two-legged dragon (aka wyvern). I would like that such dragon can breathe fire on player's command (or the beast does this on its own). Perequisites: - A game that is not tainted by the influence of Dungeons and Dragons. - The dragon is...

Good propositions, but I can't think of anything. If someone came from a warmer land, what would make him end up traveling north in a arctic land? If you go to a freezing hellish arctic wasteland there must be a strong reason why you came so far north. Like InsolentLad said, an object, a...

How could an arctic land be used in a fantasy story? I have worldbuilded a region in the northernmost part of my continent where the land is always snow and ice, its similar to Forodwaith. The only interesting thing about this land are inuit-like tribes; silver-skinned, ice-breathing "wyverns"...

I can't take non-English names from real-life mythologies, for example jinn, vodyanoi or naga. Its just that kind of setting.

I made my mind, please don't post here because I already decided. This thread should be deleted.

Title is accidentally misleading and I got three questions. 1) FIRST QUESTION In 11th century AD for example, was the armor made of wrought iron or steel? 2) SECOND QUESTION What was armor made of in Roman times when it comes to Roman legionaries with best equipment such as lorica segmentata...
