Show spoiler: who turns Briar Hill to stone

Heroes of the past
The official History of Albion posts are written in character, so read them as in-world legend. Part 1 says Albion was once ruled by the Court (the Jack, Knight and Queen of Blades) until William Black and the Heroes of Blood and Bower overthrew them. The in-world historian doubts the legend.

Part 2 names more historical Heroes: Iron Shannon, Edmund Silvertongue, Alice Armstrong, Samuel Blackbark and the Maker, who gave voice to objects such as doors. Source: fablethegame.com (21 Sep 2026)
