Snowglobe Village is a location accessible by activating the Cursed Snowglobe from Murgo in the Fable II DLC See the Future. The village is a recreation of Oakvale from around 300 years prior to Fable II, before it had been destroyed by Reaver and the Shadow Court.

Upon activating the Cursed Snowglobe, the Hero is transported into a village devoid of all colour. Here the Hero encounters numerous villagers being attacked by Coloured Shadows, who ask the Hero for help. Nearby is a Cullis Gate that will become active once the Hero has removed the curse. The Cullis Gate will allow the player to leave the area, and will return them to the location they were when they activated the snowglobe.

As with the other items Murgo sells to the Hero, you will be able to find Murgo statues and dyes.

Exploration[]

After restoring colour to the village, you may enter new areas. One of these areas is the house near the wheat field, across from the gate into the town's central plaza. In the house is the Inheritance Letter and a flit switch that, when activated, begins to lead you around Oakvale. Eventually, it will open a door in the carriage stop, releasing another flit switch (you can see this flit before it is released from the room. You can also teleport into the room without the other flit with the targeted time control spell. If you do then you are stuck in the room and will have to load a previous save or you can fast travel to another area). This switch takes you to a chest that is near the beach. After opening the chest, you will find a tea party invitation. This invitation unlocks yet another house, this one in the ring of houses around the well. As you enter, you will find skeletons and weapons everywhere, a scene of ghastly destruction left by none other than your Super Best Friend, Chesty. If you head upstairs, you can use a floating mirror as a portal to a foggy area containing a bottle of red dye.

Also next to a tree in the Shadow Court you can find the book The Grumpy Rabbit, which will lead you on a journey around the Celestial Keep looking for The Dingly Egg. The end of this small adventure is access to the Ashfield House.

Oakvale[]

Snowglobe Village is the Oakvale built after the bandit raid, but before Reaver sacrificed it to the Shadow Court. It is likely the village came under this colourless curse because of Reaver as Shadow Worshippers are found inside the Shadow Court. Also since Theresa supplies Murgo with the magical items she may have intended the Hero freeing the people of her village.

Points of Interest[]

  • Shadow Court: You can find an old version of the Shadow Court. To enter the court you will need a seal that you get from some children if you rescue them from the Shadows.
  • The Well: A version of the Well from the Drowned Farm can be entered and explored. This area contains Archie Loggy's Diary.
  • Oast House: This place looks similar to Giles' Farm if you help Giles.
  • Myrtle Cottage: This is where Chesty hosted a tea party.
  • Ashfield House:This contains the Commemorative Mug. The key is inside the Dingly Burrow in the Celestial Keep.
  • Madame Ursula's Little Tykes School: The school where the children you had to rescue go to learn and where you get the Shadow Court Key. It changed to Madame Ursula's Home for Little Lost Souls in Wraithmarsh by the time of the Snowglobe quest. Madame Ursula (listed in her diary as "Madam") could also be linked to the Ursula that Reaver refers to in the escape from Bloodstone. After all, the snowglobe location is presumed to be Oakvale. And Reaver destroyed Oakvale himself.

Graveyard[]

There is a small graveyard to the right of the village, next to the bridge leading to the school. The graves read:

  • James Cobbett. Mashed to a bloody pulp by angry schoolchildren.
  • Jigar Sharma. Made a fine meal for a family for rabid rabbits.
  • Giles Anderson. Went swimming. Forgot the armbands.
  • Evangelos Vrocharis. I’m not really dead, am I?
  • Ollie Loring. Went drinking in Bloodstone. Got battered.
  • Tom Hughes. Sat on a wall,had a great fall. With consequences.
  • Leonard Texler. Blue, white, red. Now dead.
  • Julia Brown. I told you this Spire collar was too tight.
  • David Delve. Swabbed the deck and broke his neck.

Notes[]

  • Some of the chests will be grey and some will be coloured. You can open the coloured ones right away, but to open the grey ones you will have to return the colours.
  • The village will become colourful momentarily if the player absorbs experience orbs and holds the button down.
  • The Theresa Doll or Garth Doll can be found here.

Collectables[]

Murgo Statuettes[]

  • Murgo "Chicken" Model - Found in The Well.
  • Murgo "Dancing" Model - At one end of the beach, near where a child is rescued.
  • Murgo "Dismissive" Model - Near the school house there is a bridge, under which is a dive spot. Enter the dive spot to be brought out on a ledge above the school where the model can be found.
  • Murgo "Begging" Model - Behind a destroyable wall in the Shadow Court.

Murgo's Dyes[]

  • Cursed Grey Dye - In a chest in the Shadow Court area.
  • Gory Glory Red Dye - Beyond the mirror in the Myrtle Cottage.
  • Jaunty Jaundice Dye - In a chest in The Well.
  • Performers Blue Dye - In a chest in the windmill.
  • Well Red Dye - In a chest beyond the school house.

Note: A bottle of Regal Purple Dye can be found in a chest in the house that's just to the right of the house with the inheritance letter. However, this is not one of Murgo's dyes and does not contribute to The Colourist achievement.
