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.
