Could Balverines Conquer Albion? | Silverpines Fable Lore

The Silverpines Forest is full of death, mystery and pain. What event cursed the forest and what obstacles do the human population of the small hamlet face? I went to Albion to find out!

*Theresa's Question:* Could Balverines take over Albion?

[@annaliaperez2823]

I would say that whith their modern capabilities it could be possible though very hard and risky

[@lukedoorbar2520]

Balverines seem to be the only consistent creatures in Albion. Unlike Hobbes who seemed to have hidden away, Balverines have grown stronger and more intelligent. Anyway, great video Sky! Keep it up!

[@Skyrionn]

Couldn't agree more! You're welcome. Thanks for the continued support!

[@antoniosnavely1243]

During thy age of enlightenment one of Balverine tries to lure heros into a nesting grounds trip to The crucible

[@Attack_Pillow]

This reminds of of every Fable player’s sworn duty for every play though. You must spell shit instead of Hits at the Witchwood demon door. That is all.

[@Skyrionn]

You must do it. HITS

[@eyek96]

There is a book, The Balverine Order which is about your theory

[@davidr1037]

Good book, I’ve read it was a side of fable I never really saw before.

[@franken5728]

Plus all of the other side stories too.

[@Skyrionn]

Balverine Order is great - partly inspired the theory!

[@jss12u1]

Yea they could have

[@legendaryliam1984]

Imagine being able to use the statue of the white balverine in fable 3 to become the white pack leader balverine and switch to and from it at will like the other guy did. Hero-king/Alpha Balverine, shit would be sick

[@drakoathergoth4846]

and infect Hobson, some high ranking members of the Royal army, Ben Finn, Reaver and your wife/queen. It would be like a secret society like Reaver's party.

[@aerialmacaroon6312]

White balerines seem to be the only ones with intelligence The normal balverines seem almost more beast like

[@jdkelley393]

In fable 3 when infiltrating Reever's mansion there are several black balverine's. They are there as party guests that seem normal and of average intelligence for the fable world. This causes the scene where Reever's butler get's ate for trying to be romantic with one. So they seem to be able to pass as normal people.

[@philipalderman5528]

Johnathan Ross voices the butler lol

[@gergelysari146]

Silverpines definitely gave me Knothole Glade vibes. Except for the obnoxious track from the Gray House :D

[@Skyrionn]

Absolutely same! I think that is why I love the region so much.

[@gergelysari146]

I really liked the moody atmosphere of the pine forest 😇 I really like it's colors and the ambient itself

[@KyleEvra]

Balverines are my favorite beasts. =) Even though they're a headache to beat. XD Yes, I would love to live in Silver Pines really beautiful forest full of nature and pine trees. I'm aware of the dangers being killed or cursed forever.

[@drakoathergoth4846]

I'd just side with Connor and for him to bite me on a full moon, so I turn into a white Balverine too.

[@annaliaperez2823]

Could you maybe discuss the Banshee, Its one of my favourite kind of "Monster" /undead. And if so could it be that they inspired her from old story's about "la llorona"?

[@Skyrionn]

I did briefly look into it. If I can find a good enough theory, I'll put something together :)

[@chthonianjellyfish2176]

The banshee originates from Irish folklore and has its own lore and stories that are distinct from that of la llorona.

[@annaliaperez2823]

@@chthonianjellyfish2176 thank you, I didnt know that, but It´s nice to know

[@davidevans2863]

I always wanted an old kingdom game that shows us the Balvorn and have us take it down. Show the beginnings of the balverines

[@godhasbeendeadforaverylongtime]

I was having this thought not a week ago glad you made this video

[@Skyrionn]

I'm glad you found the video and hope you enjoyed it!

[@topper4781]

I stand by the theory that hobbes are the most dangerous creatures to albion

[@johannesvonmalos7505]

Can you elaborate on that

[@drag00n77]

Balverine settlements is a good clucking idea. Wild balverines in the wilderness + sentient balvarines hidden among humans or in certain cults would be cool. It would be even better if the player could become a balverine like in skyrim. Or Even little hobbe villiages and factions like the smarter hobbes would live in huts and study magic and use machines and the dumber ones would live in the wilderness and actually attack the smarter ones like bandits. The humans of Albion have evolved so why not the other races? This idea was only slightly explored in the games. Too many of the non-human enemies are just mindless creatures or henchmen. It would be terrifying if some of them were fully self aware. They would be able to trap and ambush the hero in clever ways and it would make for more interesting encounters This idea could also be applied to the undead in some way if someone clever comes up with some good lore for it.

[@RabidNemo]

I always found it interesting that the white balverine could initially control himself but gradually lost control over time. Perhaps over the years those who would become balverines found a way to keep more of their humanity if you will but they still seem to be easily triggered when it comes to transforming. Kind of like the one who transformed in Fable 3 after the butler slapped her on the behind

[@beelzeboss42]

That was poor timing on his part, the wheel landed on the Balverines

[@notjimpickens7928]

Im surprised you didnt mention the brightwood tower easter egg

[@Skyrionn]

When I mentioned the region being connected to Brightwood, I did intend on showing the tower while writing the video. Completely forget when capturing the footage!

[@TheJcjonesacp]

Well I for one welcome our new Balverine overlords

[@Skyrionn]

And they welcome you in return

[@smrm64]

Im glad microsoft stopped fable 4 before it happened. Fable doesnt need to keep going into the future. Fans would like to see some games taking place in the old kingdom or early age of heroes

[@quacke6869]

guess what😭

[@kishinasura1989]

*loads turret pistol* no please do say.

[@RabidNemo]

Any thoughts on witchcraft Mary having a white balverine statue in her cell?

[@seafoamspirit3484]

Do the humans of Albion have any silver coins? The "arbitrary" decision by certain people to not use silver coins for reasons they won't explain might start to get suspicious.

[@vaishnavipremanand3691]

I think Balverines could co-exist with the rest of the creatures cause they may not be inherently violent, like Seth from the legend of Wolfsbane

[@wretchedslippage3255]

I love this so much!! SUBBED!

[@philipalderman5528]

I don't think take over but maybe a fable underworld because the silver would make it awkward could be invited for tea and be revealed but definitely a town or city

[@Skyrionn]

Ohh that would have made an amazing side quest

[@lupin2361]

I’d just join the Balverines

[@cameronb7161]

You know what'd be pretty cool? If we had a fable game where the hero is like half balverine half human. You could transform into a balverine during a fight.

[@Skyrionn]

I think I would like that. Good thought

[@Zanoladab]

Were-balverine?? Or Were-verine.. hehe

[@brycehubble1156]

Balverines were always so scary to me when I was child lol

[@Skyrionn]

They're just annoying enemies now

[@brycehubble1156]

@@Skyrionn that I can agree with

[@radishesonmars9309]

I mean they could, but... why would they want too?
