In a lot of past fantasy novels, it was a knight that had to slay the dragon and save the princess.

In my current work, I have used some of these old type characteristics by featuring a princess, but the princess is an Elf, a more talented and stonger group of evolved humans. The man is a knight, yet a holy knight (paladin) that is struggling to survive in the world that was being corrupted slowly by a society that was forcing people on how to live.

There are dragons too, though they are not an overall important thing in the work, our knight does slay one, and gains a group of followers that have faith in him to defeat their harsh and controlling leader.

What do you think of using soem teh old type methods in our modern-day writings of seriosu fantasy?
