Line 8:
Christianity can occur, but is [[Lowest Cosmic Denominator|fairly rare]]. [[Mythopoeia]] is possible, as well as [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]. This will partly depend on whether it's a [[High Fantasy]] or [[Low Fantasy]] setting, as [[Religion Is Magic|religion and magic are often closely associated]].
This is also frequently the setting of Japanese [[RPG]]s, [[Wutai]] aside. And mostly Western [[RPG]]s in between Sci-Fi games. And the first settings of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' are perhaps the most well-known example (even though most D&D setting avert this trope, the sheer popularity of the Faerûn setting makes this trope almost synonymous with D&D). Notably averted however in [[Wuxia]], which is a sister trope (Chinese fantasy with a long literary tradition, set in a pseudo-historical [[Alternate Universe]] China, featuring magic, [[Knight Errant|wandering errant martial artists]], legendary artifacts, [[Dragons]] and the rest). Played straight in Japanese [[Anime]], oddly enough, except for works like ''[[Princess Mononoke]]''.
[[Hollywood History|Often depicts]] the setting as more [[Arcadia]] and the [[Ghibli Hills]] than the actual medieval Europeans viewed it as, though [[The Dung Ages|not always]].
