Fantasy Worlds

A fantasy world is a fictional universe created in fiction such as literature, film or games. Typical fantasy worlds involve magic or magical abilities, non-existent technology and sometimes, either a historical or futuristic theme.

Oftentimes, fantasy worlds are parallel worlds connected to Earth via a magical portal or a wormhole. Most fantasy worlds draw heavily on our real world history, geography and also on mythology and folklore.
