I think this shows in authors who normally don't write in this genre, but it's a genre where world-building and making things plausible is very important. There's a lot to be said for following internal rules and having the right tone for the work. Fantasy is not a license to make sh*t up and not do research. Good fantasy writers know exactly when they need to do research, and when they can make sh*t up.
