Java-based Ancient Domains Engine

A thousand years have passed since Chaos tried to invade Ancardia. A powerful hero managed to defeat the ultimate threat to peace and all life and brought a millennium of tranquility to the world. The various races prospered, civilization expanded and vast parts of the world were settled in one way or another. Many city-states dot the country site and trade is common in these days.

Recently folks started to talk about strange monks travelling the country site. Heavily robed they swarm villages and try to find converts with surprising frenzy. In remote mountain ranges ancient dungeon complexes suddenly seem to sprawl with life and unlife of all sorts. In the past couple of years, tensions have been rising between the races. Is this just the return to normal historical development after an unequaled era of peace of is something more sinister working behind the scenes?

Your character might be the deciding factor in this. He will be able to venture through a vast world and its his choice whether he wants to engage in adventure or just lead a normal and sheltered life (for an adventurer, e.g. guarding caravans). Everything can happen and usually everything will happen - it's your choice what you make of it...

Fable Thomas Biskup recommends: Fable
"I love Fable for its details. The graphics are wonderful, the difficulty level is exactly right for me and you can almost feel how Fable II, III and IV will look. Hey, Fable IV might rival JADE in its level of detail ;-) We'll see who's finished first ;-) But seriously: Fable IMHO is one of the most wonderful and intriguing role playing games of the past years and it got me back into computer gaming. I love the quests, I love the detail and I love how all your actions change your character. Although there is so much that could be added to the game, it already now is a wonderful engine and I'm very much looking forward to future versions. Absolutely recommended!"
