Modern Issues, Medieval Worlds: Navigating Politics in Fantasy

In this semi-rant, we’re diving into the tricky territory of bringing modern politics and cultural issues into a fantasy world rooted in medieval history. Using Dragon Age: The Veilguard as an example of what can go wrong, and Horizon: Forbidden West as an example of what can go right, I’ll explore how to integrate contemporary themes without breaking the story’s immersion. Perfect for writers looking to balance relevance with world-building in their fantasy settings.
