The Nymphwood Elegies is set in that classic fantasy gray area that draws societal elements from real-world Medieval and Renaissance Europe but mixes in absurd magic, weird races, impossible monsters, and wondering deities. 

There is no chivalry, knights, or rivaling noble houses, but there are plenty of swords, shields, and adventurers. There are no guns or explosives, nor is the magic at a level that can replicate that kind of weaponry–but when the gods are involved, all bets are off.

There are no dragons (I know, I know), nor are there comparable beasts that mankind can tame on a large scale (I'm looking at you, Targaryens). However, there are plenty of massive, dangerous, fantastic creatures that play important roles throughout the story and offer new challenges that complicate the characters’ lives.

But mostly, Nymphwood Elegies, as the name suggests, has a foundation of Nymphs, a word that is deployed both in the mythological sense as well as the modern one. Therefore, lust is woven into the setting in fun cultural, magical, and even geographical ways. In short, it's a strange and intoxicating world that breeds unique and comical conflicts.
