fable.fandom.com/wiki/Albion
The timeline and lore of games have already interested me, and looking into Fable was extremely interesting as I looked into the history of where heroes originated from and how the Heroes' Guild was founded.
William Black (Scythe) and Jack of Blades were the dominant forces before the hero of Oakvale. Check out the story!

#Fable #Timeline #History - Hry
Not enough fable lore on this website. I’m glade this exists.
Thanks for watching! I recently created a Portal Timeline if you're interested too!
Skyrionn, I’ll definitely check it out, I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel!
Btw, do you think Scythe is William Black?? And that the hero of Oakvale is named ‘Aarkan’ as a book in fable 2 suggests?
Will you be doing lore for the in between of Fable 1 and 2? I love reading about the fall of the heroes, albeit it being a sad story.
I actually had a Q&A with one of the creators. It's one of my most recent videos on the channel.
He confirmed that William Black is Scythe. I'm unsure on what the Hero of Oakvale real name is.
I'm looking to look at another games history and then maybe return to Fable. So it's definetely a possibility!
@@Skyrionn *Chicken Chaser*
Glad. Stupid
It is interesting knowing that Jack wasn’t after the Sword of Aeons merely for the power of the Hero that defeated him, but to reclaim the weapon Will stole from him.
It's poetic in a way.
I love the fable series but always questioned what had happened before the first game. Awesome video
Yeah! It's extremely interesting that the history isn't really revealed but makes complete sense when playing through the games.
Exactly
You didn't read books you found in Albion?
Very well put together. Pulling from multiple sources. Good job
Well I think we're going to find out what this new reboot
It's a cool detail of how Scythe is mentioned in Fable 2 to be looking after Rose if you use the wish that brings her back. Rose, in a letter, describes him as scary looking with a hood, but very nice and she feels safe around him. She also mentions that he has promised to reunite her with her brother/sister one day.
its enough to make me teary eyed
What if it’s jack of blades
Bro I thought she was with the original favor hero
It would be amazing if Fable IV had some sort of time traveling aspect that showed us how the Old Kingdom was. Orrrrr Microsoft should make a Fable game based on the Old Kingdom alone
I agree. Fable 1/TLC was the best of the 3. Once it got into the steam engine era's and characters began looking like Porcalin dolls....i lost major interest.
from what ive heard they want to reboot it..that would mean fresh start, something like paralel universe of this one. which i dont agree with at all :D
@@kristiankopera Wouldn't be necessarily bad. Even though the first game is great, it could be greatly improved on many, many aspects. Microsoft/PlaygroundGames could simply do a reworked Fable 1 on a way bigger scale with more depth and details (Better and bigger storyline, towns, land to explore, dialogues, characters, everything !)
@@Marianne69420 Or we could play the life of William, the first Will user against the Court
@@Marianne69420 And more lore, factions, magic, characters, nations, villains. Generally a bigger game I hope
"Well done, the beetles are all dead."
I read that in the Guildmaster's voice.
YESSSSS
Only a true Fable fan would know that...lol.
Dont make me remeber the dark side path I played 2 times that path in fable I but never could kill the guild master xD
Those beetles can be a damn nuisance.
Based on how powerful Will was, and how the Queen of Blades managed to fight him for weeks, literally creating mountains, I’m not sure if the hero we play in Fable 1 could beat either of them in a fight.
In fable 3 they confirm with your power glove that the Heros blood gets diluted over time. Fable 1's Hero would get merc'd for sure
I've always been a fan of the series but I didn't really know anything about the lore predating the first title. Interesting and informative video. Keep it up
I do think it is an underrated game series. And I'm really hoping we get a Fable IV announcement at E3.
You didn't read books you found in Albion?
I remember playing this game when I was 7th grade... it brought a new era to RPG's, bringing up the choice between becoming good or evil. Even with today's advanced games it still remains one of the best I've ever played...
The fact that you put so much dedication into this beloved game lore, but who is also pretty much completely forgotten, warms my heart.
Thank you! I just adore the series. Thanks for watching
I always thought that scythe was just the first archon in hiding
You were right then!
So is Willian the scythe?
Yes :)
My favorite lore piece was the “Fall of the Guild” reading those diary entries from the perspective of a man who wanted to become a Hero, but how society changed and how the Guild and Heroes were seen as time went along was very fun to imagine and think about
It's such an interesting period in Albion history. I'm planning to cover that part in the next of my Fable timeline!
I just watched all your Fable videos today, for someone with a relatively small channel you had some of the best Fable videos I have, I love Fable and thought I knew all the lore but I even learnt some little things in this video.
Thank you. I'm currently trying to figure out how to continue with this timeline!
Amazing man. Its so amazing to hear the backstory and to understand the games better now. Especialy cuz Fable TLC im my favorite ;p
It helped me get into the game a lot more when I replayed it after understanding all of the references!
man i am all over this, fable 1 is by far my favorite, and most formative game i have ever played, it defined a lot of my life. keep going man, this looks amazing and the visuals are really helpful!
Hey thank you! I also have a lore series dedicated to Fable if you wanna check that out.
I am planning on continuing this in the future. :)
Fable 1 did not age well tho, so boring and clunky. I just tried to play the remaster and even on xbox one it still lagged. Crazy. I get the nostalgia aspect though we tend to look on the past with rose colored glasses.
Great video mate, this is the only video I’ve found on the history of Albion. Keep up the good work
Thank you! Its something I had looked for myself and decided to make it!
Fable honestly has some really good lore idk why the games barley talk about it. I did enjoy 2 though cause to me I feel like it was the most fleshed out lore wise
There was so much that they could have explored and developed to make Fable II and even Fable III's story better. I loved the story of Fable 2, but still, diving a bit more into the origins of what made Albion what it was would have been great.
This is an amazing video. It's informative, and the narration is fantastic. Well done. You've earned a new subscriber.
Thank you so much. So much time went in to this video and I'm so happy with how it turned out. I'm thinking I'll look into the backstory of Portal next.
It Is
It’s a shame this wasn’t properly explored in the games, the lore is fairly rich but absolutely none of it is really explored in depth, hopefully Fable 4 decides to explore it a lot more.
It is a shame. If we were to get another Fable game, I would like some of this explored.
I love watching your videos like a podcast, it’s very calming with your voice.
I’ve finished my script for a Fable comic I have wanted to make for 2 years now, and your videos have helped immensely. It’s a more detailed version of The Court arriving -> William becoming Archon.
Thank you so much!
I didn't know there was so much lore I didn't even notice even though ive played through all 3 games multiple times. loved the video.
This was pure quality! Thank you for your time and effort to create this video for us bro
Thanks so much for watching. Fable is very close to my heart. Watch this space!
I love fable and I love that people like you still make videos about it♥
Thanks for making this! Definitely liking all your fable videos
That had to have taken SO much work putting all the characters together to visualise the story line. Excellent use of magic. Well done :)
Braaaaavooo !, the amount of efforts put in this video is so unreal, I applaud you sir and i most certainly encourage to keep doing your thing especially in Fable related videos.
Thanks so much! I am planning on returning to Albion in the future. I'm currently working on a Bioshock Timeline which is taking a very long time to put together!
This video has resparked my love for this series. The lore itself is amazing.
Glad to hear it! Go forth adventurer, and return to Albion!
Been playing fable since TLC and only now i know the full story. Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much!!!!! Please do the 3 games! You tell this story so well
Thanks so much for watching. I am planning on going back to Albion with lore. Just have a few other games I'm looking at before returning. Stay tuned!
What a fantastic video encapsulated the beauty of the fable story perfectly
Love the video. I have always loved fable its one of the reasons i ever got an xbox. I love all the info you have of the history and lore of fable, thank you
It was one of the first games I played on Xbox too! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for diving into the lore behind Fable!
You probably won't see this but I thought that Avo's Tear was created by some hero when he was trying to close a vortex that would destroy Bowerstone. I'm pretty sure this is explained on the book on Avo's Tear when you are looking for the sword.
Hello :) I believe there are conflicting stories on where the sword came from. According to "Tales of Albion" which was on the Lionhead website, it said that Nostro commissioned it. But then, as you mention in the book, it tells the story of how Solcius used a common sword as the focus point of a spell to close the vortex that threatened Bowerstone. I think with conflicting stories like this, it's good to kind of decide which story you would prefer happened. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
@@Skyrionn Thanks for the reply! It's actually cool now that I think about it: it's a very old legend, so it's normal that there is not a definitive explanation for its origin. Anyways, you should resume your Fable content. This was a nice video :)
@@stefanoponce6090 I am planning on coming back and continuing with the Timeline. I'm currently working on a Bioshock timeline which is taking a while to put together.
I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that After Nostro had Avo's Tear made, for whatever reason it was given to a town guard, at which point it did not possess any powers. Then once it was used to seal the rift, it gained equal powers to the Sword of Aeons.
@Black Rainbow I don't think it's entirely far fetched to say they have roughly the same power, it was used as a focus to seal a rift to the very void the original was forged. I know in the base game Aeons has 550 damage, but in TLC it does specifically say "Its strength rivals even the Sword of Aeons."
This is well made! I've always wanted to know about fable's history, and that's why i really like this video.
After researching this, it changed the way I saw my first playthrough after, as the Old Kingdom is mentioned quite a lot! Thanks for watching - I really appreciate it!
Cant believe its been 4 months since your last video man! This video was so well done its insane. Keep up the great work, I just started downloading the fable collection onto my xbox! Time to play again!
I know! It's been do long. I started the new job and that took up a lot of my time. This has been in the works for just over 2 months. Hoping to get the next one out faster but aitb the same quality.
@@Skyrionn awesome cant wait man!
I can't believe this video exists! Thank you so much!
This was very well done, and I learned a lot. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching. This is exactly why I make them. I'm planning on continuing the Fable timeline after I complete the Bioshock Timeline!
I see someone else has taken the time to read the copious amount of books in this series. Thank you for putting it all together here!
nice video really well done, great job man keep doing it
thank you for tihs video. It helped me understand some things about lore.
Thank you for this video. It answers allot of questions. I'm glad to finally be informed of this Lore.
Glad I could help!
I wish I could forget this and watch it for the 1st time all over again
Thank you! There's more to come :)
One of my all time favorite games, and I never knew any of this. Great work!
It really changes the perspective of the game when playing it knowing this stuff! I enjoyed the game more than my first 100 playthroughs with this knowledge :)
@@Skyrionn Yeah I mean the lore is way, waaay darker than I ever imagined.. Def makes me look at the game with a different perspective.
Wow. thank you. I have enjoyed this game for years, and what you shared here, was very informative and fun.
Glad you enjoyed it! I also have a lore series on Fable if that's your kinda thing!
I played Fable 2 and 3 (no DLC) Nice to know who Rose apparently is with after picking to revive your family and pet dog in Fable 2, The Crawler seemed to kinda come out of nowhere in Fable 3. Glad this video exists
I hadn't even though about that!
@@Skyrionn Rose with Scythe?
@@postapocalypse0763 Yeah, just knowing that he is looking over her as he is her great x100 grandfather
The Oracle also says the Fire heart was made to "project the Archons power over vast distances." Whatever that means lol.
Good efforts, thank you, it’s was exciting
+Темирлан Толегенов You're very welcome! I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more!
Severely underrated video. Thank you for this
You're very welcome! That's very kind :)
I'm not finished yet but this is so cool!!
Plus you have a nice voice!
I hope there will be a Fable 4
Love your work! Can’t wait to see more!
More to come!
Also, join our Discord! We talk about Fable and meme stuff.

Loved this!!!!! Simply one of the best game series ever made. Can't wait for the reboot
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!
How on earth does this not have more views. Thank you for this i really enjoyed it. Please do something about the theories surrounding who Scythe is and what happened to the hero of oakvale.
I will, I have quite a big list of locations and people to cover. Scythe is William Black. I'd be interested the investigate what happened to the Hero of Oakvale. I'll add him to the list. Thanks for watching and being so kind!
Excellent video man, I love fable lore and its great seeing more content on it. Especially when it's done so well
One critique: the music is slightly too loud in some spots
Thank you! I was surprised that not many people are making Fable content. It's such a great game.
Noted! I did have that issue with my earlier videos.
This was so informative! Thank you so much for making such a well put-together video.
Where did you get all your information from?
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was information pulled from a ton of different sources. The Old Lionhead website, books in game, the Fable Wikia was a great help. Fable: The Journey had a nice chunk of backstory for The Spire. Tons of sources compiled into one video. It took a while to write, but it came together well :)
Good work!
Thank you! I really enjoyed making this one!
Great editing and info. I hope it was fun doing this video
It was! I loved researching the history and then visualising it. Thanks for watching!
Wish the game itself told us more about this lore. Never knew about William or scythe. Good stuff.
The game actually does alot. Matter of fact it tells you what happened throughout the game.
Thanks for watching! His story is extremely interesting. I'm hoping we get more information about him if we do get more games in the series.
@@Skyrionn Tragically I was a Fable fan, I went through all of the Lore. They're may not be anymore games. Lionhead went over after they tried the little Fable Dungeon Master deal. Microsoft was done with them not only that, Microsoft ditched them and kept Ownership of the license so they could do nothing about it.
Big Boss wasn’t there rumors about a fable 4 like 2-3 months ago some studio picked it up or something and was working on it
Cameron playground games uk is working on an untitled action rpg. Only ones I believe are suited for this reboot. This dude boss has lost hope lol
What an outstanding video. I have heard the outline of the History of Albion from the games, but there is a lot of neat details in here I had never heard before.
If the rest of your lore and fact videos are this good, then I will definitely have to watch more! I can tell you take this very seriously!
The animation and video editing quality is a "stupendous!" bonus, as the curly mustache traders like to say. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much! It means so much for you to say that.
I'm currently working on a Bioshock lore video similar to this. Unfortunately it's taking so much time to make it perfect. So I'm not sure when my next episode will be uploaded. Hopefully there is enough on the channel for you!
I love this video thank you for making this.
Thanks for watching. It really came from a love of the games!
This was really good!
Thank you so much!
This is really good, 10/10
Thank you! There's more to come!
God I love this game, it doesn't get enough attention, great vid!
Glad you enjoy it! I really loved making it!
That was a great video, thank you! I wish they would have made a Fable 4.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. It's such a great story! I'm to follow on with the timeline one day!
Subbed. Looking forward to your history of Albion on Fable 4 in the future
One day! Thanks for the sub!
I'm making a video on fable this really helped me understand a game I've loved most of my life thank you!
Awesome video! Always enjoyed the fable games but never looked into the history of the lore at all so definitely found it interesting!
I'm glad you liked it. I think Im going to do Portal next. If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see, I'd be happy to look at it!
Beautiful video 🥹 been playing since I was a kid
Jack Of Blades is Canadian 🇨🇦
XBOX Live Goldに加入した時に、会員特典でFable Anniversaryを頂いたことから遊び始めました。
現在、FableⅡを進めていますが、この作品の世界観は本当に素晴らしい、日本語対応版も素晴らしい内容になっていますよ。
3作目で終わってしまったことが、本当に残念です。
Great vid !
Cheers my dude
Thank you so much for doing this
So you so much for watching! It was so fun to make :)
@@Skyrionn it's about time someone talked about it
Incredible video
Thanks so much! I'm considering doing another lore episodes based between Fable 1 and 2. Stay turned!
Loved this!
Thank you!
Great video, Fable lore is so interesting.
It really is! The birth of The Hero of Oakvale seemed like the best place to finish it too!
@@Skyrionn I hope you do more Fable lore videos, there's not many good respectful fable videos out there. I bet you'd get millions of views, all the Fable fans would appreciate it.
That's why I made this, because I couldn't find a visual timeline. I'm currently working on a timeline for Portal. (Hopefully going to get one out a month). If I did find time to get out some smaller lore videos, what would you like me to cover from Fable?
@@Skyrionn you should do a video about how the world changed from the first fable to Fable 3. Use the maps and stuff. The map isn't very detailed though. You could also do some monsters lore like the Hobs, nymphs and balvarines.
@@cyberlingbot3d896 It's on my list of episodes to do. I was thinking of doing little lore videos like that. I think I'd have to stop one of the other series though to find time to do it.
This is great! Can't wait for the new fable to come out in 2021
I never knew the backstories of Nostro, Scythe, Archon etc. Really informative video thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed! It is such an amazing story!
I love these Fable videos dude. They remind me of Zeltik's channel with Zelda, or Fudge Muppet with Skyrim.
Thank you. I just love lore. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Loved the video, apart from when you pronounced regime as, regimay. Lol just playing, would love to see more like this
Great stuff keep it going
Thanks, will do! I'm actually considering doing a second timeline between the events of Fable 1 and just as Fable 2 starts. Thanks for watching!
@@Skyrionn well id be up for watching it if you do
I love fable it’s so ominous and cool it’s awesome!
So good thanks for sharing! How did you make this? Is this footage from the anniversary addition? I love Fable, such a favorite childhood game!!
Yeah, it was all from Anniversary. It's mine too. I just love the series and the story.
Great video, could you do one where you explain what happens to Albion between the different games, each time the landscape and cities has been changed and I always wondered why, like how Brightwood became Brightwall and things like that
Nevermind X) I think you did enough Fable videos for me to find what I'm looking for XDD Didn't see you were so prolific x)
Great video
Thank you!
really love this ❤️
Thanks! Stick around for more :)
Great video.
Thank yob for watching!
Gave me goosebumps that outro
Wow this is awesome I'm a long time fan of fable it was one of the first video Gamez I ever played!!!
I'm so glad we're getting another one.
@@Skyrionn I am to!!!
Fable content on youtube seems so old, there is a need for more HQ content like this, and keep the hype alive for Fable 4
Thanks so much. The channel has a lot more Fable content posted weekly :)
Great video. The in game lore on the Avo's Tear is about some of the great 4 heroes buried in the guild courtyard. Something about how one of them closed a portal that was going to destroy Bowerstone, using a sword that belonged to a guard as the catalyst to stop the portal, it absorbed all his magic and the portal at the cost of his own life and that sword turned into the Avo's Tear. I'm not sure where you read the thing about Nostro having it commissioned and made by a black smith. Thats a vast inconsistency unless they retconned it. I just wish in general they would actually explore the lore of the game as much as they focus on humor and cliche tropes and giving you choice. Would make the game so much better. I dont understand why they never made a prequel game where you play through Willam Black/Scythe's backstory. That couldve been its own tripple A game.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I believe that Lionhead created two versions of how the Tears of Avo was created. I got the information from the "Tales of Albion" Website which was used to tell lore on the Fable world and that's the story it tells. I had to pick one of the versions and liked the Nostro version more. Both versions are pretty good.
I would have loved a prequel game too. The story is so rich. Imagine being the first ever hero. Imagine all of that power!
I love your content
Nice video you have a new subscriber
Thanks for the sub! I post a Fable lore episode every Monday and and Half-life lore episode every Thursday. Also doing Fable livestreams too!
@@Skyrionn nice I love fable 👏👏👏🖒🖒🖒🤘🤘🤘
This is epic!
Man thanks for the lore I’m playing fable 1-3 and I know what’s happening exactly
I'll admit, during my first playthrough after making this, I understood all the references to the old kingdom and heroes mentioned. It really made me enjoy the playthrough a lot more.
You deserve a fuck ton of subscribers and I'm about to binge your Fable Lore videos js.
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the lore!
I only just realised that Theresa was the sister in Fable 1. Love that.
That's some story telling shhhhh right there!.... Very well spoken mate never played fable.... I love skyrim so might be worth a dabble
Thank you! I have thought about doing Skyrim. There's so much history that comes with that and I'd love to go into it. Maybe when I've done a few games and I feel confident that I could do it justice :)
@@Skyrionn yeah so much story behind skyrim I would get lost trying to keep up with it to be honest haha
Oh dude I hope you've played it by now. Fable is one of the most original fantasy worlds developed it's amazing the third installment isn't really worth it sadly.
Damn didn’t know that’s what fable series was before I am excited for the new game
great job
Thank you!
I don't know who edited the subtitles but some of them are just priceless " woodsman came across a woman in a near-death condition who have been attacked by 12 Alfred's", I'm glad I never came across those Alfred's while playing, they sound vicious :-DD
😂 😂 😂 😂 I may need to manually do them!
I'm going to guess you read the books that appeared in the game and tied it all together? A ton of this sounds super familiar but I never pieced it together like this. I really hope the next Fable title (Because the rumor is that there is a new one) is a reboot and expands upon THIS storyline, and not some weird ass Fable II "spire" story line, that makes absolutely zero sense already.
I love the queen, knife and jack of blades court concept, and hearing it the way you presented it feels significantly more like a versatile story than anything I can recall in Fable II or Fable III.
Great job.
It was a combination of a bunch of sources. Looking through all the history helped me appreciate the games so much more when I went back and played them!
I would love a reboot I think. Im just not sure where they could go with another Fable in the current timeline.
Josh Washington lol I started with fable 2 and to this day think it’s one of the greatest games I’ve played I wanted to get anniversary to try 1 but I got a ps4 now... still a reboot is exactly what is needed if streets of rage 4 can drop so can this
Fable 1: Legend
Fable 2: Nice and cool
Fable 3: WTF, you call that fable
I loved the story from Fable III but the first will always be my favourite!
Fable 3 felt like a Fable game.....
Jordan Rayner Faiiiir
Fable 1: Great start to the story and lore. Tons of memorable characters, quests, and art. Best combat system in the series. Awesome villain who felt like a huge threat.
Fable 2: Artistically good, a couple good quests, neat villain, 2 memorable characters. Garbage combat system. Kicks out most of the lore from previous game with small exceptions.
Fable 3: Good motives for villain, the most memorable side quests in the series, tons of memorable characters, best music in the series, improved combat system, and sadly forced to be a sequel to the worst game in the trilogy.
@@Mr.Foxhat you sir, are wrong, objectively wrong
