To start with, here is a good description of the indescribable:

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.
