Best Fantasy Worlds Ever Created

Ever since the dawn of the fantasy genre, it’s piqued the imagination of many people all around the world. Many popular series have come to pass, each with their own characteristic world that has a unique feeling and dynamic to it. It breathes life into the story, the characters and the stakes that our heroes have to fight for.

Since reading or watching every work of fantasy that’s ever been created might be a bit much, we’re going to save you some precious time and list out the best fantasy worlds ever created.

Westeros
George R.R. Martin created what’s probably the most popular fantasy world at the moment. With the last season of Game of Thrones upon us, people are more willing than ever to dive into the depths of Westeros one last time.

The Star Wars Galaxy
That other George, George Lucas, created what was probably the first fantasy universe in outer space. Because of this, some people still think Star Wars is science fiction but it’s honestly just knights and wizards with glowing swords. The war between Jedi and Sith has excited people for over 40 years now.

Middle-Earth
Tolkien created what is probably the first cookie cutter fantasy world. There’s no fantasy story out there that won’t have some link to the story of the Lord of the Rings in there somewhere, and that can hardly be considered a bad thing.

Land of Oz
The Wizard of Oz was probably the world’s first “mainstream” introduction to fantasy worlds. While the world doesn’t seem like anything special today, it does hold a special place in the history of fantasy because it showed people that fantasy can have deep stories as well.
