'''High Fantasy''' is perhaps the most famous, or at least well known, of the fantasy [[Setting Aesthetics]]. Popularized, if not codified, by [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] and his [[Lord of the Rings]] novels, it has a very loose array of traits, but the most commonly accepted elements are a high level of fantastical elements, such as many different kinds of sapient races, wide-spread and/or high-powered magic, and a tendency towards a clear-cut moralism scale.

The polar opposite is, of course, [[Low Fantasy]]. [[Heroic Fantasy]] is the intermediary between the two extremes.
