Trivia[]

  • According to co-creators Dene and Simon Carter, the storyline of Fable is heavily inspired by the story of "The Luck Child" from Jim Henson's TV series The StoryTeller.
  • It is implied that a lot of the content found in The Lost Chapters was meant to be in the original Fable in some way, shape or form. But due to time constraints, the developers ended up merging some of those ideas together. For example: Snowspire and the Necropolis were meant to be their own island and not connected to each other.
