The setting of the stereotypical High (or "epic") Fantasy, a collection of tropes, often boiled down from The Lord of the Rings (and Tolkien's Legendarium in general) which has been the foundation for many a series of doorstoppers.
Basically, the Dark Lord, thought defeated millennia past, has returned to his Dark Tower in the Dark Land, gathering around him Dark Forces. The free lands have only one hope, a small band of lost heirs, princes, and simple village folk gathered together by a mysterious wandering grey-bearded wizard. They will have to brave a long quest for the MacGuffin through strange, dangerous lands inhabited by monsters and peculiar and hostile peoples in order to save the world.
In former times, High Fantasy did not follow this formula. William Morris' The Well At The Worlds End doesn't have this, nor do the dreamers' tales of Lord Dunsany, or his The King of Elfland's Daughter, which are very High Fantasy indeed. Neither George MacDonald nor H. P. Lovecraft in his Dreamland cycle have such a storyline. Some more modern works usually classed as High Fantasy, like Hope Mirrlees' Lud In The Mist and Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea, still don't. Also, there's sometimes a very fine line between what is defined as High Fantasy and Heroic Fantasy, with some works kind of in the middle, like E.R. Eddison's The Worm Ouroboros or The Elric Saga by Michael Moorcock. And it's still not essential to stick so closely to the model, but many of today's fantasy writers still use many or most of the above elements, perhaps feeling that you don't mess with what works. Tolkien scholar Thomas Shippey talks about this in a chapter of his book J.R.R. Tolkien, Author of the Century.
Many core elements of this type of high fantasy can be found in seminal literature from the 19th and early 20th century, but it was Tolkien that codified the genre, although he called The Lord of the Rings "heroic romance".
The core elements of High Fantasy are:
Setting: A world other than ours. It may have a nominal connection with present day Earth, such as being our remote past or future (Tolkien specified that Middle-earth is our Earth), but this plays no role in the plot. Mythopoeia is often put into play to define the very metaphysics of the world. Nevertheless it often resembles medieval Europe, and is often peopled by People of Hair Color.
Magic: Magic, wizards and fantastical elements (dragons, spells, etc) are often in the forefront in High Fantasy, and tend to play major roles in stories, worldbuilding and conflicts. While this isn't a strictly a crucial element — you can and do get High Fantasy works with subdued or minimal magic and Low Fantasy works with quite a lot of it — High Fantasy is distinguished by typically portraying its fantastical elements in a more positive and glamorous light, quite unlike the bestial monsters, shifty sorcerers and Power at a Price style of magic found in Low and Heroic Fantasy.
Scale: Epic scale in terms of geographic and historical impact. Power politics, wars, the birth and death of nations, gods walking the earth, and the real threat of The End of the World as We Know It. This is what distinguishes High Fantasy from Heroic Fantasy.
Morality: The good guys are strictly good and the bad guys are strictly evil, with fairly minimal overlap. Even in cases where moral ambiguity or flexibility exists, there's still a fairly clear divide between good and evil — generally speaking, antiheroes and -villains still tend to fall mainly one one side or the other — as opposed to the Grey-and-Gray Morality more common in Low Fantasy.
Great evil: An enemy which is near enough Evil incarnate or fundamentally abhorrent, whose machinations and plots serve as the main push of the conflict. Their victory would be, in no ambiguous terms, a terrible thing for everybody else. This is in contrast to Low Fantasy, which tends to favor human-versus-human conflicts, and Heroic Fantasy, which favors pitting the heroes against successions of mostly unconnected human and bestial foes.
Methods: Victory is not achieved through force of arms, the main feature distinguishing High Fantasy from Heroic Fantasy. It is also not achieved through wide-ranging strategy, logistics and political and military conflicts, which is generally the case in Low Fantasy. Victory will also be complete and with few loose ends or sour notes; this is shared with Heroic Fantasy, but Low Fantasy tends to favor more ambiguous and incomplete endings. Essentially, if Aragorn had killed Sauron in hand-to-hand combat, that would have been Heroic Fantasy, and if Gondor had beaten Mordor by having more allies, better strategy, innovative tactics and a better-trained army, that would have been Low Fantasy. Instead, victory is achieved through the efforts of a small number of characters acting against great odds, and a Supporting Leader or the Reluctant Hero will be offered up instead of the rough-hewn barbarian of, say, Conan the Barbarian or Beowulf.
Other common elements include:
Artifacts of Doom
The Chosen One
Cool Horse
Cool Sword
Emerging from the Shadows
Functional Magic
Hobbits, dwarves, elves, dragons and other fantasy races.
Lost heirs to kings
Medieval Stasis
Mordor
Prophecies
The Quest
The boundary between High Fantasy and Low Fantasy is probably impossible to pin down, but the Deverry and Deryni series are near the borderline, and may straddle it. In both, the protagonists are involved in high-level power politics, with the fate of their nation in the balance, but Deverry has superhuman evils which the Deryni series lacks. Another borderline series would be the violent, low-magic A Song of Ice and Fire, which is on an epic scale, in a pseudo-medieval setting, with the looming menace of the Others, but lacks a Dark Lord (so far). The Discworld novels as a whole are another problematic case; they are generally considered Low Fantasy, but several of them tick all the boxes on the core elements noted above and epic-level plots (like Thief of Time) happen just as frequently as street-level ones (like The Truth).
Novels that are unambiguously Low Fantasy include Eisenstein's The Book Of Elementals, about a family quarrel among wizards devoid of wider implications, Barbara Hambly's Stranger at the Wedding, where the threat is confined to a single merchant family, and Maskerade, whose villain, a normal human, has no greater ambition than to run an opera house. Not to be confused with Demythification, which is a myth or legend reimagined as Historical Fiction.
The sci-fi version of High Fantasy is Space Opera, but not vice versa. The quintessential Space Opera doesn't necessarily include a Dark Lord equivalent, but if a Space Opera does, as with Star Wars or Vernor Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep, it is High Fantasy in space.
Heroic or High Fantasy of Chinese cultural origin is known as Wuxia or Xianxia.
High fantasy starring animal protagonists may overlap with Xenofiction.
For the Darker and Edgier version, check out Dark Fantasy.
Compare and contrast with Sword and Sorcery, Sword and Sandal, Historical Fantasy and The Epic.

That being said, the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, more closely fits the high fantasy formula: Voldemort and his followers are a near-constant threat from page one having taken over the Ministry of Magic and the main trio embark on a perilous journey across the British Isles to find and destroy magical artifacts to defeat Voldemort, culminating in a huge battle between the heroes against Voldemort’s army. Harry also defeats the villain less through brute force and more by exploiting the magic system surrounding wand ownership and The Power of Love.

Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song thrusts you into the world of Mardias, where the inhabitants struggle against the return of evil lord Saruin, his army of monsters and his evil cults. Due to the game's open-ended nature, the world and its nations are rather detailed with lores about multiple fairytales, lords and heroes, many of which you end up interacting with. The player runs on a Karma Meter, but it merely determines a path that eventually leads to the same endgame, an epic Lord of the Ring style war against Saruin where ally nations help you party sneak into Big Bad;s lair and defeat him. Even Saruin's own siblings don't like him, which is saying something.

Fire Emblem: The series as a wholesale qualifies, but it heavily plays with the genre's trappings. Like other High Fantasy settings, the scale of each game tends to be epic; continent-shaking wars between kingdoms and Royals Who Actually Do Something who are tasked with defeating a great evil, usually with the recurring Fire Emblem involved. Dragons are almost certainly to be involved, and the scale (usually) tends to go through the Sorting Algorithm of Evil from low level bandits to The Empire to a Religion of Evil with the power of a dark god/dragon. However, all of this mixed in with a considerable degree of Low Fantasy elements as well; there are other races than humans, but humans constantly act as the dominant force in the world. There's no real epic quest in most of the games (or, at least, it's almost never framed as such) instead focusing on the outbreak of war between human nations and heapings upon heapings of political intrigue. There were ancient heroes with legendary weapons who helped seal away an evil dragon/god, but those legends fade into myth, and many of the different settings' individuals at large forgot the existence of said legendary weapons. Monsters can exist, but it's very case-by-case depending on the setting, but very often they're regarded as mythic like the legendary weapons and are seldom-seen. Magic is common, but it's not seen as a occult happenstance so much as a science, with Radiant Dawn mentioning scientists developing the Rewarp stave of that game, Anima and Dark magic being regarded as "Reason" in Three Houses. Not to mention, the characters that you can recruit may even be Punch Clock Heroes, and the series seems to lean towards the neutral side on the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, though some of the games can also lean towards the idealistic side as well. Plus, it must be noted that the Jugdral series is very dark in tone.

Warhammer Fantasy's sequel setting, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar takes the High Fantasy elements of the original Warhammer and takes it way, way Higher than it already was, to the point where the setting almost encompasses an all new type of "Mythical Fantasy" genre. Due to the fact that the Age of Sigmar world isn't as put-together as traditional fantasy settings, it appears as what many fantasy settings' "mythical/golden age" is like, with gods walking the land and strange and nonsensical rules being bent by mortals, as in mythologies like the Norse or the Greek.

Anbennar is a fairly detailed Genre Deconstruction. It kicks off when the hero Corin has just ascended to godhood after slaying Korgus Dookanson, the orc warlord who commanded the Greentide. But in a world with no Black-and-White Morality, what follows after this is the question: what do humans do with the orcs and goblins who now live in the ruins of Escann? (It's often not pretty.) How do the adventurers who made up Corin's armies deal with each other, as The Fellowship Has Ended and they settle in the land they've taken from the greenskins? Are the "monstrous" races evil, or can they learn to coexist with an ever-stronger humanity? And when magical relics are found in the ruins of the Precursors, it starts a land rush that can be incredibly savage to the remnants of the ancient elven civilization. Even the idea of the Necromancer as the Big Bad is called into question, as Esthil and the later Black Demesne provide justifications for employing necromancy and a sorcerous elite (respectively) to improve human lives and wealth, even as some of their methods like becoming a Lich are Powered by a Forsaken Child. Is it worth it?

The Earthsea cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin is considered a classic of the subgenre, though it famously avoids many of the associated cliches. Earthsea is a sprawling chain of islands populated mostly by brown-skinned peoples as opposed to the usual Medieval European-eqsue setting, war is essentially nonexistent, and magic is a fine art, studied intensely and used sparingly, rather than a solution to all of life's problems. The series hits full High Fantasy status during the third book, The Farthest Shore, which introduces a villain whose plan threatens to destroy the world, and a suitably epic quest by a young heir and his aging wizard mentor to prevent this.

There have been debates over whether Harry Potter would be considered an example.
The overarching plot revolves around the hero (who is later revealed to be the subject of a prophecy) thwarting the attempts of an evil wizard to return to power, with magic being extremely commonplace in the setting. This sounds very high fantasy-ish. However, the series isn't set in a secondary world but in a magical society hidden in the normal world; most of the novels are also confined to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the protagonists' day-to-day concerns tend to things like learning new spells, playing Quidditch, conflict with teachers and other students, and so forth (in other words, typical school-aged drama with fantasy trappings). Although there's increasing focus on wizard politics, Voldemort and his followers usually only become prominent in the last third.
That being said, the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, more closely fits the high fantasy formula: Voldemort and his followers are a near-constant threat from page one having taken over the Ministry of Magic and the main trio embark on a perilous journey across the British Isles to find and destroy magical artifacts to defeat Voldemort, culminating in a huge battle between the heroes against Voldemort’s army. Harry also defeats the villain less through brute force and more by exploiting the magic system surrounding wand ownership and The Power of Love.

ElvenQuest parodies the High Fantasy setting. The Chosen One (a dog in our world but a human in his) must band together with an Elf, Warrior Princess and Dwarf to find the mystical Sword of Asnagar and defeat the cunning and oddly genre-savvy Lord Darkness.

The Dragons of Requiem series revolves around a race of humans who use magic to turn into dragons. The same series also involves artifacts that can reanimate corpses, demons rising from the "Abyss," humans who can turn into phoenixes, potions that can turn people into sphinxes, reanimated skeletons, villains who try to kill hundreds of thousands, and more.

The Order of the Stick is an affectionate parody of the genre. It started off as closer to Heroic Fantasy, with an adventuring party raiding a random dungeon, but got Higher as it went on, starting with the reveal that it wasn't a random dungeon, but the location of a Big Bad the party leader had sworn to defeat, and building up to the adventurers being the last hope of preventing said Big Bad from (inadventently) destroying the world.

Overlord takes all the tropes of this genre and runs away with them.
The first game subverts pretty much everything that gets in its grubby little paws. The Heroes aren't particularly heroic, the Minions don't exactly project an intimidating facade and, depending on the player's decisions, the Evil Overlord...well, isn't.
The second game even more so. Whatever trope it manages to play straight, it does so for parody's sake.

The Priory of the Orange Tree is a retelling of "Saint George and the Dragon" that begins with personal conflicts of four characters in the West and East but quickly become bigger due to the imminent return of the Nameless One (the Dragon). The setting is populated by humans, evil European-style dragons, and benevolent Asian-style dragons; the distinction between the two has been lost to humans on both sides, resulting in isolation (the West believes the East to be wyrm-worshipping heretics while the East believes the West to be indiscriminate dragon-killers). Magic is used, but extremely rare and widely feared. Political intrigues exist as an obstacle to the main goal of saving the world from a mountain-sized dragon that's about to wake up, and the secret descendants of those who originally bound the dragon play a key role in all of the efforts to deal with it.

Sucker Punch has one fantasy sequence set in a world inspired by High Fantasy. The girls have to raid a castle that's full of an Orc-like army and take fire from a dragon. The film is set in the 1960s when Lord of the Rings first became popular in the United States. Presumably the girls were fans.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is high fantasy with an Eastern motif rather than the usual Western one. The show is set in a fictional world divided into four nations which are primarily based on the style and philosophy of various Asian cultures (imperial Japan, Shaolin monks, etc.), and feature an extremely detailed and versatile elemental magic system known as Bending, all manner of strange creatures, and multiple villains who easily qualify as evil incarnate, along with some well-meaning but misguided ones for good measure. While its sequel, The Legend of Korra, shifts the franchise into Diesel Punk Urban Fantasy territory (in particular, almost all of its villains are Well-Intentioned Extremists rather than outright evil), it still retains plenty of High Fantasy tropes (for example, Vaatu is still very much a classic "Great Evil"-type villain).

The Lord of the Rings: Inspired a slew of imitators and created the genre as we know it. It's something of an Unbuilt Trope in Lord of the Rings itself, which can best be described as "high fantasy but low magic." Magic is extremely rare, viewed with awe and ignorance by most people, and quite restrained whenever it does show up. There are perhaps a few dozen "mages" on the entire planet (i.e. the five wizards, the nine Nazgul, Beorn, Galadriel, the one remaining dragon), and other than them the only magic is minor charms embedded into a handful of items, usually those made by elves (like a piece of bread that can fill you up for a day or a sword that can glow and pierce things slightly better than a normal one). Some of the more impressive showings by said magicians include "shining lights to blind someone", "making someone scared, but not enough to override Heroic Willpower", "showing someone hallucinations", "poisoning or setting alight one person at a time", and "turning into a large and intelligent but otherwise completely ordinary bear or wolf." Even the titular Rings never do anything on-screen other than the One Ring making the wearer invisible (though it's implied they could do much more in the hands of a powerful being, the villain's plan was still mostly just to use their powers to build and control mundane armies). Furthermore the story's actual protagonists (as opposed to the Supporting Leader) are much more down to earth (both figuratively and literally) than typical fantasy fare. The lands and events aren't really larger-than-life either - the largest military engagement in the books had fewer soldiers involved than were present at Cannae, (and most of those were Orcs who are explicitly inferior to human troops), the state of the world outside of the relatively compact story area goes almost completely unmentioned, and as far as we know Third Age Middle-earth is very thinly populated and only has one city of any note (that is, Minas Tirith; even Edoras, the capital of Rohan, is referred to as a mere town). The books certainly feel big, though.

In the Name of the King features a lost heir, orc knock-offs, an evil wizard, and other conventional high fantasy tropes.
In the Name of the King 2: Two Worlds transports a special forces soldier into a high fantasy world, or at least as high fantasy as the budget will allow.
In the Name of the King 3: Last Mission transports an assassin into a high fantasy world that's really just a few castles around Bulgaria.

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel is set in our world, but characters travel through many different Shadowrealms as well - and the series climaxes in the ancient realm of Danu Talis. All Myths Are True heavily applies here, with many mythical figures and Historical Domain Characters appearing. And yes there is something about The End of the World as We Know It, but it turns out to mean destroying one world so that ours can begin.

Saga Of The Forgotten Warrior. Is set in the unknown land of Lok. It is hinted that humans living in Lok are originally from Earth, but no reliable records of the past remain. At some unknown point in the past, demons came to the world, and started devouring humans, until there was a threat of extinction, but with the aid of black steel, humans fought off the demons, and forced them off land, and into the sea. Because of this, sea travel is impossible, and the inhabitants of Lok know nothing of what happened on the other continents. Lots of extremely fast paced action, but no shortage of intricate plot. The world of Lok draws heavily on Ancient Indian themes.

For The Elder Scrolls series, the individual games are more in line with Heroic Fantasies - your Player Character needs to save the world from a malevolent Big Bad seeking to take it over or end it outright, while you get to have some fun exploring the Wide-Open Sandbox game world. However, when you take a step back and look at the series as a whole, as well as dig deep into the rich backstory, you can easily seem more of the High Fantasy elements. Overarching "Good vs. Evil" themes emerge, while in other instances, these waters are muddied, with many of the aforementioned Big Bads having Well-Intentioned Extremist slants and the like. Essentially, the Elder Scrolls universe is a High Fantasy setting, and each main series game is a Heroic Fantasy story told within that universe.

A Song of Ice and Fire begins on the Low Fantasy side of the line, starting out with Grey-and-Grey Morality firmly in place and dealing mostly with one nation's dynastic wars, but because The Magic Comes Back slowly over the course of the series, it gets progressively closer to High Fantasy with each novel, especially in Bran, Arya, Jon and Dany's storylines, as magic becomes more apparent, the Others establish themselves as the great supernatural evil and the threat they pose to the world starts to be given more importance. The series can also be described as a particularly brutal reconstruction of this genre. Knights are mostly just brutal thugs with established family lineages; rulers gain their power through a combination of the sort of underhanded political strategies you'd expect a crime boss to use and military victories that in no way prepare them for ruling during peace times; earning political positions through birthright is a disastrous idea even before you factor in the inbreeding; magical wonders (like the dragons) lose their lustre quickly or get ascribed all sorts of symbolic meanings they haven't earned, traumatic experiences are legitimately traumatising; and basing your strategy on any type of morality and high ideals will get you and lots of innocent people (including those you love) killed. Oddly enough (given how cynical the universe is about human nature and how life works), high fantasy tropes are played almost completely straight in relation to Bran Stark's storyline (particularly since his escape from Winterfell).

The Old Kingdom series is somewhat unusual, as its premise revolves around necromancy and the undead. The first book also starts out more in Heroic Fantasy territory but moves into High by the endnote as Sabriel's goals shift from "save Dad" to "save the world", while books two and three are firmly High Fantasy from the get go. The prequel Clariel, however, tends more towards the Low Fantasy end of the scale.

Most Final Fantasy games are High Fantasy to a degree, including Final Fantasy IV, VI and XII.
XII is a borderline case. It meets most of the requirements except the scale. There's some power politics and the looming threat of a war between two great powers, but it's limited to threatening one small kingdom/city-state caught between them rather than any serious threat to the world at large regardless of who wins. The over-arching quest is more about preventing the city of Dalmasca from being turned into a battleground of two rival empires, neither of which represent the Good Guys, than attempting to defeat the Evil Overlord (who turns out to be a Knight Templar Anti-Villain). At no point is The End of the World as We Know It even on the table in the main plot.
There are, however, side-quests where the player can go looking for trouble and pick fights with some very powerful demigods that tried to take over Heaven itself in ages past.

Shadow and Bone: Based upon The Grishaverse books, Shadow and Bone is an uncommon example of a high fantasy that takes place not in a medieval setting but one closer to the mid-1800s in terms of fashion, culture and technology. In particular, magic-users in the setting -known as Grisha -have to contend with modern weaponry such as guns, giving mundane folks an edge. They also tend to refer to their powers as a science rather than magic. The show's A-plot follows the high fantasy formula most closely, concerning a lowly young orphan who discovers she's a rare type of Grisha called the Sun Summoner, destined to save her country from dark forces; she must learn to harness her power while avoiding or out-manoeuvring those that seek to harm or exploit her.

Game of Thrones: Based on the A Song of Ice and Fire novels. As with the books, this one straddles the line between high fantasy and low fantasy; the scale is certainly epic, with the story spanning entire continents, but the plotlines are more concerned with relatively mundane political intrigue and family feuds, with magical elements kept to a minimum early on. Later seasons shift more towards typical high fantasy due to the increased prominence of the White Walkers and their Dark Lord-esque leader the Night King, with the characters having to put aside their differences to stop the potentially world-ending invasion. After that wraps up though, everyone's back to squabbling over the throne.

Warhammer often occupies this league of the fantasy spectrum, though it encompasses Heroic Fantasy more often and Low Fantasy about as often. Episodes of full-bore High Fantasy from Warhammer's rich tapestry generally involve world-threatening catastrophes, and include the Great Wars Against Chaos (both the war of 2306 and the previous incursions, going back to the original war in the time of Aenarion), the Sundering of the Elves and the conquests of Nagash (who provides one of Warhammer's many iconic Dark Lord type characters). In aesthetic terms the elder races of Warhammer (the Dwarfs and the three kindreds of Elves) tend to present the most high fantasy aspect, drawing heavily on Tolkien and boasting histories replete with great world-spanning deeds of significance. The Bretonnians are perhaps the most classically Medieval Fantasy race, however, and embody most strongly the "knights in shining armour" aspect of the genre (albeit with a fair helping of cynicism and actual medieval weirdness at times). The Empire, the de facto protagonist faction, leans much more into Low Fantasy to the point that, prior to the late 7th to 8th editions, it'd be very hard to tell them apart from real-world 16th century Germany without their occasional use of wizards.
Warhammer Fantasy's sequel setting, Warhammer: Age of Sigmar takes the High Fantasy elements of the original Warhammer and takes it way, way Higher than it already was, to the point where the setting almost encompasses an all new type of "Mythical Fantasy" genre. Due to the fact that the Age of Sigmar world isn't as put-together as traditional fantasy settings, it appears as what many fantasy settings' "mythical/golden age" is like, with gods walking the land and strange and nonsensical rules being bent by mortals, as in mythologies like the Norse or the Greek.

BGTSCC Often each year's metaplot ending effects the world for a long time after, with permanent changes to the server. One example is the Amn/Gate war, changing Beregost's ownership from Baldur's Gate to Amn.

The first two episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: A long time ago, the land of Equestria was ruled by two godlike alicorn sisters who controlled the cycle of day and night. But the younger sister, responsible for the night, became jealous and resentful and turned into the evil Nightmare Moon, refusing to lower the moon to make way for the day. The elder sister was forced to banish her into the moon, where she has remained ever since. But a thousand years later, When the Planets Align, she escapes and threatens to shroud the land in eternal darkness once more. Now it's up to a group of cute but surprisingly badass ponies to travel through the ancient Everfree Forest to find the Elements of Harmony, the only thing that can stop Nightmare Moon. While the majority of the series is an Aesop-driven ensemble comedy in a fantasy setting, the two-part season premieres and finales are consistently driven by High Fantasy tropes. Attempted takeovers of Equestria by Evil Overlords sealed away for a minimum of one thousand years alongside armies of Evil Minions run rampant, only to be undone each time by the forces of love and friendship. This has started to creep into the "normal" episodes as well; "Hearth's Warming Eve," for instance, deals with the nation's founding amidst prejudice-driven political struggles and ethereal winter spirits feeding on their hatred, and "It's About Time" offhandedly establishes that Ponyville is located within walking distance of the gates of Tartarus.

The A Court of Thorns and Roses series, mostly from the second book onwards; the first book falls more under Heroic Fantasy. The series is set in a pseudo-medieval world where fae and humans live side-by-side, magic is reasonably commonplace amongst fae, and the main villain is a Sorcerous Overlord who is trying to reinvade Prythian after being foiled centuries ago.

The later entries of the Soul Series after the Genre Shift away from Historical Fantasy. It takes place on Earth during the 16th Century and real historical figures are referenced, but apart from that, the series has lizard men, a golem, a Gorgeous Greek Paladin empowered by an ancient god, a Ghost Pirate, two vampires, a demon-hunting kunoichi, an immortal Scary Black Man, an English alchemist lady with a Whip Sword, a teenage priestess who can control the wind, various bits of Clock Punk like Yoshimitsu's arm and most of Wolfkrone, costumes that are not historically period accurate in any way (seriously, it's utterly hilarious how Seong Mi-na traverses half the world three times while wearing hardly anything and nobody else once ever calls attention to this), and a conflict between two magic swords that everyone is fighting over that drives the main plot. That still isn't naming everything.

The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. He and Tolkien were good friends and their stories share many similarities. The books drift in and out of the epic scale - the first one featuring an evil sorceress who needs to be defeated to save the world. Besides The Silver Chair and The Last Battle the scale is much smaller in other books.

The Cosmere tends towards this genre for its longer entries. In particular, Mistborn: The Original Trilogy is a Genre Deconstruction or possibly more of a Decon-Recon Switch taking the last volume into account, while The Stormlight Archive is a Reconstruction described by the author as his love letter to the genre.

Chronicles of the Kencyrath fits most of the elements, though it's very tightly focused on the heroine and her immediate friends and family despite the world-shaking events going on, and at least as far as supernatural forces are concerned it's more Black-and-Grey Morality than Black-and-White Morality.

The Wheel of Time (2021): Based upon the book series of the same name, which is one of the most famous examples of this genre. Unlike Game of Thrones, it leans heavily into classic epic fantasy tropes and plotlines (dark lord threatening the world with his army of monsters, a prophesised hero who could either save or destroy the world, magic users everywhere and so on).
