Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 9741199" data-attributes="member: 1125">The important thing about Arthurian Fantasy as opposed to other Fantasy is that Arthurian Fantasy is embedded in Chivalric Morality, which are mythic ideals bound in oaths and duty, then tested by court intrigues, romantic entanglements, mystical visions and moral failures that lead to grand tragedy.The characters of such fantasy are mythic tropes in their own right, bound in the struggle between honour, loyalty, and temptation.  Heroes in Arthurian Fantasy must swear fealty to their Lord, devotion to their Lady, loyalty to the Order and duty to the common man, all of which are tested by the trials of life in a corrupted world.Knights and Heroes in Arthurian Fantasy are called to quest in order to test their ideals and prove their worthiness and honour. In such quest no encounter is random, they are all “fateful encounters” designed to highlight the heroes true nature.All done on a backdrop of misty moors, ruined abbeys, enchanted groves, and twisting roads to cursed castles</blockquote>
