Genre: Low-fantasy

This genre is grounded in a more realistic and gritty world where magic and fantastical creatures are rare, subtle, or even non-existent. Unlike high-fantasy, where epic battles and powerful sorcery are common, Low-Fantasy focuses on the everyday struggles of characters in a world that feels closer to historical reality, albeit with some fantastical elements. The narrative often involves moral ambiguity, political intrigue, and personal survival, set in a world where human conflicts, such as war, betrayal, and ambition, take center stage. Magic, if it exists, is usually mysterious, dangerous, and limited, and the emphasis is on a more nuanced, character-driven story that reflects the harsh and often unforgiving nature of the world.
