High Fantasy World is a story about a mercenary, a thief, a magician, a girl raised by dwarves and her Protectorate, a paladin, a blood mage and an angel/demon hybrid... and many more, on a quest to stop an evil Duke Malevni from taking over the mystical land of Troperdom... or Troperia... or... something. To do this, they must cross many lands and defeat many enemies, and uncover the truth of what the duke is really after.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It's also the tale of a thief, a knight, a mage and a paladin on their quest to stop the evil Duke of Azmodan from gaining the rune of destruction.And it's also the tale of how a necromancer and her guardians set out to prevent war from engulfing the lands and plunging their world into a three-way war, killing tens of thousands and paving the way for an even darker threat to all of the diverse races of the land...Confused yet?High Fantasy World is a long-running free-form forum game with a diverse cast and a huge (and probably contradictory) background which uses and then subverts just about every trope in the high fantasy genre.The first adventure takes place wholly within Troperia; the second focuses more on neighbouring lands, particularly Trell, Troperia's smaller, more militant neighbour.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) |

Our Orcs Are Different: And inconsistent too. Though the ones in Troperia seem to be little more than savage nuisances, the ones in Trell are quite civilised, if warlike, and almost seem to be a refreshing change to the suspicious and prejudiced Trellians. |

comment |
Rule of Cool: The party seems to find increasingly imaginative ways to get through the obstacles they face. Highlights have been pole-vaulting into a sorceror perched on a golem (Richard) summoning a small army when under pressure (Diplomatiker) various abuses of Teleporters and Transporters (Lamret) and solving a highly tense negotiation by knocking out not one, but both parties (Bludgeon.) |

Glamour Failure: The Necrosians can pull these off deliberately for intimidation purposes, revealing skulls, and the Diplomatiker can turn from being calm and clinical to being utterly terrifying to friend and foe alike. |

Precursors |
| | High Fantasy World (Roleplay) / int_92286f7f |
comment |
Precursors: Referenced in the backstory is the Varankain empire. It appears the transition to independent statehoods was a rocky one, more so in Trell than in Troperia. There is also reference made to a failed state of Sfosan nearby. It is not clear if the precursors were abusive or not. The empire's break up, at the very least, appears to have been relatively peaceful in Necrosia, though more troubled in Trell and disastrous in Sfosan. The empire is despised in Troperia however. |
