"Green and pleasant, just don’t go into the woods alone, or after dark, or between the hours of…just don’t go into the woods."

Brightlodge was a city that existed in the now-cancelled Fable Legends. situated in the pastoral lands of Albion. It existed 400 years before the Hero of Oakvale defeated Jack of Blades.

It would have acted as a hub-city where the Hero would have been able to engage in classic Fable jobs.

Description

At the time of Fable Legends, the Old Kingdom has fallen. Out of the ashes has arisen a patchwork of villages and semblances of settlements. There’s no overall ruler or government and no unified ruling class. In the larger villages you’ll probably find a chief, mayor or group of elders, even someone who has elevated themselves to the exalted rank of King, but their interests are strictly local. Similarly, there are a few larger towns, but no capital or central city.

Brightlodge is one such town. Once a shining city built on the edge of a waterfall, it was mostly destroyed when the Old Kingdom fell. However such a unique location would not remain unsettled for long. Gradually out of the ruins arose the Adventurer’s Inn. A sympathetic ear and a well-chosen base for exploring and questing meant this ramshackle pub soon became the premier rest-stop for Albion’s wanderers. Now a passable mercantile municipality has spread out from this humble acorn, a town that has quickly capitalised on the burgeoning heroic economy. Albion’s more canny merchants sell ‘everything a traveller needs’ (no replacements, no exchanges, no refunds). One of these adroit citizens has even gone as far as to proclaim himself king. This is also the place to pick up rumours that could become quests and beyond.

Main Square

In the center of Brightlodge’s main island, just outside of Wendleglass Hall, is the Main Square, a gathering place for the townspeople and also where most shops are found. In the middle of the square there is an artificial installation, consisting of three trees twisted together. Under Wendleglass rule, Brightlodge’s emblem mimics such feature, and consists of three vines tangled together.

Cullis Gates

There are two noticeable Cullis Gates in Brightlodge, one right beside the main square and the other by the port near the waterfalls. One gate communicates directly with the other and can be used to teleport between the two locations, sparing the heroes to walk the distance by foot.]
