Ringlornrving-lawrn

adj. The wish that the modern world felt as epic as the one depicted in old stories and folktales--a place of tragedy and transcendence, of oaths and omens and fates, where everyday life felt like a quest for glory, a mythic bond with an ancient past, or a battle for survival against a clear enemy, rather than an open-ended parlor game where all the rules are made up and the points don't matter.
