Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there were kingdoms of magic and mystery. This world was known as Fableton, a living paralell to the world of mortals who spoke of their stories as if they were just characters in a book. Centuries passed, and Fableton's people were at peace; that was when The Darkness came. Killing everything in its path, The Darkness sought to conquer Fableton and leave no survivors; but wise Mother Goose had different plans.

With the help of King Cole, she cast a spell that would keep her people safe; upon their deaths they were transported to a new realm to live free from the terrors they had faced. No one remembered their lives in Fableton, save for Mother Goose and kind Old King Cole. The Fables entered a cycle of reincarnation, though not all fables lasted through the centuries. It became apparent that as their popularity with the mortals waned, the spell's effect on their longevity died.

Our story begins in Newport, Oregon. Centuries have passed, and the fables continue to live their peaceful lives, oblivious to the horrors and tragedy in Fableton. Will the saddened prince ever get to be with his one true love? Can the Three Little Pigs stop the Big Bad Wolf from destroying their homes? Only time will tell.
