High fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy literature that features an entirely fictional world, often with its own rules, cultures, and histories. This genre typically includes elements such as magic, mythical creatures, and epic quests. Notable examples of high fantasy include works like J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. In high fantasy, the stakes are often grand, involving battles between good and evil, and the fate of entire kingdoms or worlds. Characters may include heroes, wizards, and fantastical beings like dragons and elves. The immersive settings and complex plots are designed to transport readers to a realm far removed from reality.
