Just like in Luke Eidenschink’s magnificent illustration above, we are like Adventurers, choosing our individual path and seeking our heart’s desire. This path is often scary and requires sacrifice ... but is the only way to find the treasure we seek ... our true selves. Rediscovered Realms invites you to walk this path together.
I found that my interest in fantasy came in two phases. When I was a youth and a young teen, I consumed a great deal of fantasy book, DND, gamebooks, etc. But as I got older and grew interested in more "adult" pursuits (girls, travel, drink, etc), I left my fantasy behind.
However, once I grew older, settled down, got married, had kids, etc. I rekindled my interest. Obviously, a lot of it is nostalgia, pinning for my lost youth, but also a more adult appreciation. I find that most modern fantasy is not for me. It feels too "artificial". It has lost the spice of the past.
Luckily, as your site points out, there is enough unknown material from the past to discover (or rediscover).
Wonderful
Thank you, xPOWERBOMBx. 🙏

I agree, Richard! Thanks for commenting.
I was referring to the art. Just in case. 😬🫤
That's what I figured!
Nice bit of prose, JQ.
