Swords. Magic. Elves. Dragons. What is it about these clichés that ignites such fires of passion in people across the world? We might never know, but then again, does it really matter? Is it a bad thing that we’re continually immersed in mythical pre-history?

If you’ve been searching for a new title to whisk you away to a medieval alternate reality, it could be just what the doctor ordered.
