Once upon a time, there was a world beyond this one, just beyond a thin veil of
magic and imagination. While life was not perfect in the Homelands, the many
fable who inhabited them were content at least. That was until the unknown
Adversary caused the Great War. It was a war that spanned over all the fable
lands, leaving no fable unaffected by it. Fables of all kinds drew arms, fighting
the Adversary's army but the evil proved much too strong.
The war raged on for nearly a year and a half before the portals were found.
Those that survived were able to go through these portals of old magic, the
portals collapsing behind them as they were used. It was New York City that
the majority of the fables arrived in and it was there that they built their new
home. Grimmtown was secretly built, not one Mundie knowing anything about
the secret sixth borough.
It has been just over eight years since they've arrived in the New World and
the Fables have adapted themselves to the Mundie world. Animal fables were
given Mundie appearances so they could blend in with the world surrounding
Grimmtown and others chose to de-age themselves and start again. Any
Fables with a bad reputation before the war that fought on the side of good
were forgiven of their past deeds.
Unsurprisingly Prince Charming is no longer mayor, having lost in a landslide
to the Sea King. But what's this The Big Bad Wolf is no longer Sheriff, but
working in some diner after losing to The Sheriff of Nottingham?
Not to mention the identity of the adversary being none other the The North
Wind himself, so tensions are high in the small fable community. But every
cloud has a silver lining, haven't you heard The Stick House Pig is pregnant?
Let's not forget about the Fairy Godmother! Messages from her can only bring
bad tidings. Make sure you're careful of how you act in public, because the
