Lore lovers always have a go-to escape from our realities, and oftentimes, that realm is one of fantasy. Dragons, adventures, maidens, and quests call to us like a bee to the hive, and we're brought out of the lameness of the real world and into a land of our own imagination. While it may seem juvenile to some, our fantasy worlds are ours, and they're perfectly heroic in their own way—nobody can take that from a bona fide wizard.

  • Perhaps it's the inner knight in all of our souls, desperate to save a fair lady atop a tall tower, but the urge to slay dragons is far stronger than any urge to send work emails or handle our weekly chores. Without our fantasies, we're just regular desk jockeys beholden to our silly little lives. But with our fantasy world, we're heroes, we're villains, we're merchants, and we're wargs, living the most epic versions of life as we see fit, following honor, glory, and our longsword wherever the winds blow.
