Revision 1

The Guild

The Heroes' Guild is located in Bowerstone and is run by Humphry the Golden, a retired hero played by Matt King. It is where the player goes after the events in Briar Hill to train and learn about their heroic abilities.

Humphry

Humphry is reclusive and jaded. He was once a celebrated hero of Albion but has retreated from public life. A mysterious figure threatening Albion's existence forces him out of retirement. His relationship with the player is central to the early game: he is your mentor, but not a willing one.

A character spotlight posted in August 2023 described him as a "darker interpretation of the hero archetype." Matt King's performance leans into the comedy of a washed-up celebrity being dragged back into action.

In earlier games

The Heroes' Guild appeared in the original Fable as the training ground for all Heroes. It was destroyed in the timeline between Fable and Fable 2. In this reboot, it exists again, which fits with the rebooted timeline. Playground Games has said they are not beholden to the original games' chronology.
