Get Low, Write Some Low Fantasy.

To start with, here is a good description of the indescribable: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LowFantasy In the spirit of "Unhelmed" or "A Song of Ice and Fire", I would like to see some good old low fantasy get slung around in here. If you're too lazy to read, I don't blame you. I'll help out with this list: -little to no magic -wizards and magicians tend to be evil or looked on as evil if they exist at all (think Salem witch trials) -mostly human worlds where mythical beasts are just myths -cynical morality with little to no true Heroics. Bonus points for accurate medieval descriptions, gotta love research.
