In a nutshell, '''Dark Fantasy''' is a form of [[Setting Aesthetics]] where a standard fantasy setting is portrayed in darker and edgier ways, usually with whole-hearted embracing of [[grimdark]]. Whilst it is sometimes overlapped with [[Low Fantasy]], this does not have to be the case; [[High Fantasy]] trimmings such as abundant magic or plentiful non-human races can be used in Dark Fantasy, it is merely the grimdark light that they are presented in that defines this setting - [[Warhammer Fantasy]] is, when looked at from the angle of its wargame, a Dark High Fantasy setting (although the Warhammer RPG, inversely, presents its as more of a Dark Low Fantasy).

			Common trappings of Dark Fantasy include:
			* Magic is at best a neutral and easily abused force, at worst it's an actively evil force and often corrupts or destroys those who wield it.
