What defines dark fantasy?
Is it just elves that wear black or is there more to it? Maybe a mood or setting? Maybe it’s an antihero thing? Im curious as to what it means and what some of the defining/seminal works of dark fantasy might be.

Even the main Mageborn series has parts that seem a bit dark fantasy to me.
Mageborn plot
For example the part where he becomes the soulsucking creature type, or Penny killing the priest and just thinking she’ll do the most before she’s dead. Oh, and suffocating the first bad guy…
There are foundations of brutality in Mageborn, but they are built in Embers. I can’t think of any other series where I’ve liked the prequel so much more than the source material.
