Welcome to the Medieval Issue
Step beyond the drawbridge.

In this issue, we journey into a realm where the past isn’t dusty-it’s dazzling. We explore the Gothic and the glorious, the enchanted and the eerie, with tales spun from stone spires and starlit myths. From castlecore interiors to knights-meets-runway fashion, from the smoky glamour of gothic makeup to a bestiary of modern beasts, our pages are brimming with reimagined relics and AI-forged fantasy. Prepare to enter a world where armor becomes adornment and fairy tales aren’t just bedtime stories—they’re blueprints for a mood.

You’ll feast on medieval menus, walk through churches carved like cathedrals of shadow, and meet unlikely characters like a gay nobleman navigating 14th-century court life. Along the way, our Panorama Q&A unpacks burning questions: Why are we still obsessed with knights? What exactly is castlecore? And did medieval people really believe in monsters? This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a digital tapestry woven from myth, magic, and machine. Ready your torch. Let the medieval dream begin.
