The Top 15 Most Epic Fantasy Worlds According to Batman:
Since the publication of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” in the late 1930s, fantasy fiction writers focusing on the high fantasy subgenre have worked hard to create vast and detailed worlds for their creativity to explore and write about. From Oz to Wonderland, from Camelot to Neverland, expansive fantasy worlds and realms have sparked the imaginations of countless people for generations. These domains usually come with detailed maps visually featuring the physical and political geography of the locales, which help to produce the illusion of realism and immensity. But some far outshine others in terms of complexity and detail. The scope of some of these worlds; geographically, historically, and culturally is truly captivating. Here is a simple list of Batman’s favorites:
#15: Amalur (from 38 Studio’s “Kingdoms of Amalur”)
#14: The Belgariad and the Malloreon (from David Eddings’ “Belgariad” and “Malloreon” series)
#13: Narnia (from C.S. Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia”)
#12: The Four Lands (from Terry Brooks’ “Shannara” saga)
#11: Azeroth (from Blizzard’s “World of Warcraft”)
#10: Alagaesia (from Christopher Paolini’s “Inheritance Cycle”)
#9: Hyrule (from Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda” series)
#8: Malaz (from Steven Erikson’s “Malazan Book of the Fallen” series)
#7: Krynn (Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting from Margaret Weis’ and Tracy Hickman’s “Dragonlance” saga)
#6: Thedas (from BioWare’s “Dragon Age” series)
#5: World of the Wheel of Time (from Robert Jordan’s “The Wheel of Time” series)
#4: Forgotten Realms (Ed Greenwood’s Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting)
#3: Westeros (from George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series)
#2: Tamriel (from Bethesda’s “The Elder Scrolls” series)
#1: Middle-earth (from Tolkien’s various works)
