The fantasy genre can be broken down into various sub-genres, such as the magic-heavy high fantasy or the more gritty dark fantasy. One sub-genre is sword-and-sorcery, defined by its emphasis on action and adventure, as sword-wielding heroes battle all sorts of monsters on their quests, which often veer towards self-serving rather than altruistic. Magic is usually presented as a rare and powerful thing wielded by villains, so the heroes usually save the day through strength of arms and a cunning mind.
