The Terrifying Werewolves of Albion | Balverines | Full Fable Lore

The vast land of Albion is full of dangerous creatures that roam, making it a terrifying place to travel without the help of the powerful Heroes of the Heroes' Guild. The Balverine species are one of these that tend to be found on the Western Island of Witchwood.
Where did these creatures come from, who is effected by this curse and how did the werewolf-like species evolve through the ages? I went to Albion to explore the different variations of Balverine and how they truly terrify the villages of the land in Fable.

The rumor about the flowers was pretty interesting honestly. The white ones are terrifying. It's crazy how smart they are.

[@cxx23]

I just want to say that your taste is fantastic. Fable, Portal, and Bioshock are literally some of my heart-achingly favorite games, and I desperately want more lore on.

[@Skyrionn]

I do have some Portal lore in the works now. Fable, Bioshock and the Half-Life universe are my favourite games. I felt right to do some deep dives into them! Thanks for watching! There's so much more to come.

[@imonke5303]

@@Skyrionn he speaks the same thoughts I've had for awhile now, all your content alligns with games that I love, grew up with, one of my favorite channels a true gem, I love your content and the way you make it, music in the vids is always spot on too, hope Fable 4 blows us both away :3.

[@moistslippers9726]

There’s a rumour that there’s going to be an Xbox event in May, and apparently they’re going to reveal the new Fable game. I can only hope that the map of the new game is massive and expansive enough that it greatly fleshes out the awesome hidden gem that is Fable lore.

[@nostropan4384]

So do I~

[@shepardcommander6811]

part of me wants a new Fable, the other part tells me it will be a micro transaction buggy mess like most AAA games

[@Skyrionn]

That sounds extremely exciting. I would love more lore to look into!

[@ryanthundersword1239]

Bro i’m sooo excited if it is, it’s been years and i loved the first fable! I really hope they go back way into the beginning of albion like old times with swords and bows again.

[@joshuasepeda3289]

I really hope they take the opportunity to make a more open world fable game, one that allows for more exploration and also gives us more lore about the world in the game.

[@cyberlingbot3d896]

They did a great job on those balverines models even for way back then.

[@Skyrionn]

I remember them scaring me so much when I first played it!

[@CroatianComplains]

Tip when fighting Balverines: When they jump up they will always land behind you.You can counter this by charging up a flourish when you see them jump and unleashing it when they land behind you

[@kittyramos1421]

Thank you!!

[@Cambria358]

Literally just picked up Fable again, nice to see great quality lore videos, keep it up! Maybe a video sometime soon on the Heroes Guild itself?

[@Skyrionn]

I honestly hadn't even thought about doing a video on the Heroes Guild. I will add it to the list! If you are interested in the history of the Heroes Guild, it's mentioned in my timeline video that tells the story of the Old Kingdom and the creation of the Heroes Guild :)

[@Cambria358]

Skyrionn awesome thank you

[@TheRealClaylex]

Saw Fable being revealed and I am SO HAPPY the Balverines are back

[@6thhistory]

I absolutely love the Balverine Order book, my favourite of the Fable books by far.

[@JumpinJackClash]

Love it! You have a great voice for Fable lore, it fits so well! Pair that with the music, and this is incredibly relaxing and informative.

[@Skyrionn]

Thank you! 😊I channel my inner guild master when recording the audio!

[@katevickery13]

I know right ! These help me sleep

[@fancifulbread8040]

Another amazing video! And your voice just fits the setting so well!

[@Skyrionn]

Thank you so much! Thanks for sticking around!

[@ryanthundersword1239]

Loved this game, i would always read the books i collect from the first game, they were really interesting!

[@Skyrionn]

Same here! It's some of the best lore I've seen in a video game. May be a tad biased with having grown up with Fable and it being one of my favourite games ever!

[@AuntieHauntieGames]

This was good - surprised their inclusion at Reaver's party in F3 was not mentioned.

[@Tarkus-Ivalice-dweller]

Amazing, i love fable, it's probably my favorite game ever, really good video!

[@Skyrionn]

Glad you enjoy it! Thank you! It's definitely one of mine too. It's so unique.

[@brycehubble1156]

i remember when i first played fable 2, i could never get past westcliff because i found balverines too scary

[@nostropan4384]

The lore behind summoner~

[@Skyrionn]

I've added it to the list. These should come out every Monday now. I think the next one is either Lady Grey or Whisper!

[@vincent_hall]

I love dark, scary evil things like Balverines. Thank you for this lore. Great to learn.

[@himynamelscolin]

Being lured into that huge crypt by the balverina was so fucking sketch back in the day 😩😩😩😩

[@Jozztime]

Thank you time and time again for these amazing lore videos, the lore is so difficult to track and come across in the games. You have single handedly collected all information and relayed it in bite size, beautiful content. Loving the temple of avo musical choice as always

[@Skyrionn]

Glad you like them! I love the lore. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and subscribe. Thank you!

[@Jozztime]

Skyrionn aw no way! Thanks for responding dude!❤️ Really appreciate how much time you put into these, this game is one of the very few to bring me to nostalgic tears and it’s so good to see the community alive and well! Much love from the UK 😘

[@fable5214]

Please do more Fable lore these videos are great 👍

[@Skyrionn]

Thank you! I'm really loving making them. Liking and sharing the video is always appreciated too!

[@partyman5797]

Down by the reeds, down by the reeds a twisted path leads, too souls left in-broken by white Balverines. I real hope everyone’s hyped for the new fable.

[@Skyrionn]

Super hyped

[@joshuacoleman6947]

I love the music that you chose in the background.

[@rainypanda6096]

I remember playing this game when I was 6, to this day it is my absolute favorite game yet

[@ImCptnAwesome]

I remember purposely letting a balverine attack me in Fable 1 so I could turn. Didn't work.

[@Z03155]

I hope its a option in the new fable game ngl

[@aster4jaden]

I love the Balverines.

[@abdulrahmanalteebati5031]

With werewolves and vampires being in Skyrim do you think vampires are in Albion

[@Skyrionn]

I think maybe undiscovered. It'll be interesting to see if Playground adds them

Pleasee cover more of the fable lore with this same avo tample song, its really calming and hunting with your voice, new sub keep going man.

I was actually thinking of alternating with another song. Maybe the Oakfield theme. It just depends on what suits the video better. I do love the Temple of Avo song too!

I'll add it to the list!

[@symon6686]

Will you make a video about Portal stories: Mel?

[@Skyrionn]

I'm not sure about that one. I try to focus on canon content - and as it wasn't made by Valve - I wouldn't want to confuse people. If enough people wanted it, I'm sure I could find a different format though!

@@Skyrionn Well, your lore videos are wonderful, and Balverine videos are uncommon, so I was hoping you could talk more about them?

Music?

It's the Temple of Light theme.

So they are basically just werewolves but given a reskin and new name?

[@torturedkfpemployee883]

I wouldn't say reskin the ones in Fable have shorter tails and smaller snots

[@Sothpawman]

A shame they can't make good games like they used to.

[@Skyrionn]

Well, if you're looking for a game similar to Fable, I'd recommend Greedfall or The Witcher 3.

[@tcrop0620]

What's up

[@gergelysari146]

I'd also add the fact that when it bashes you in the 3rd game, it's really annoying :)

So much rage from those guys.

[@MikeWolfMan]

Definitely enjoy watching your Fable Lore videos. Your knowledge of the History of the Fantasy/Fiction of Fable is impressive. I do wonder if there's actually paperback literature that you get your information from, or if it's purely a wild creative imagination conjuring up these stories. Either way, you contribute to maintaining an interested growing fanbase for the Fable Franchise. And i anticipate eventually viewi g the remainder of the Fable:Lore videos of which i have yet to watch. Thanks for these. You do well at your contributions to Fable.

[@robertrainford6754]

You should be able to play as one in fable.

[@Skyrionn]

I'd be down for that.

[@Mrikeepgettinmoneyagain]

I’m starting to question that “The Count” you mentioned, was possibly a vampire living in the Albion castle during a time people went missing.

[@MikeHawk-bg5ss]

How come this video only has 1.5k views?? Should be a lot more

[@Skyrionn]

Thank you! I'm just happy that people are watching!

[@Guck_Dat]

Great ❤️ Fable is in my heart

[@redheadadventures]

💚🤘🏻

[@matheuscrack50]

Fable is such a cool game but is a shame how the lore is very poorly made and how the game barely explored it. Hope the new Fable will explore more the lore.
