Medieval-fantastic

The medieval-fantastic term indicates the imaginary worlds drawing their inspiration

on the one hand historical Moyen-âge, with regard to technology (knives, animal haulage, windmills and with water, economy primarily based on agriculture) and the social organization (feudality);
in addition on the Myth S and Legend S and the fairy tales: the magic is present, the world is populated of fantastic or monstrous creatures (dwarf, Elfe S, dragons…), the religion is polytheist

It is about a bad translation of English, who feeds confusion between Fantastique, kind to which “the medieval fantastic one does not belong” and the Fantasy .

One rather uses the “medieval-fantastic” term in the field of the Roleplay. For the literary works and the films, one uses rather the term Fantasy .
