What is a fable?

The dictionary defines a fable as a short story intended to teach some kind of moral lesson. For example, the folk tale "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is a fable warning people against the dangers of lying. Informally, the term "fable" may be used to refer to any short story or fabrication. Someone suspected of lying might be accused of coming up with a fable.


Fable is also the title of a video game series first introduced in 2004. This open-world fantasy role-playing game sends players on quests surrounding a central plot. Although the game does not focus on any one moral lesson, the decisions players make in the game do have consequences. In fact, the decisions a player makes influence whether they are perceived as a good or evil person in the game.
