The Heroes Guild – Fable
From a boy, until you become the hero of Albion, you’ll spend a lot of time at the famous Heroes Guild in Fable. This is where the main character learns how to swing a sword, shoot a bow and arrow, and cast magic spells.
Once you leave the guild however, you only really return to level up and get some more quests, so you’re basically in and out in a flash. Or hey, if you want to stick around and punch the Guild-Master a few times because you’re sick of him telling you that your health is low and to drink a potion, you’re welcome to do so.
The castle itself is pretty massive, and even holds a few secrets for you to discover. You can gather various books from the library, find Avo’s Tears (the legendary sword), get drunk at the tavern, and once you beat the game, a new demon door (a door that usually requires you to solve a riddle or fulfill a requirement) appears right outside the main gate.
There is another demon door at the guild (the riddle it gives you is very easy though) and even a silver key chest that you can come back for once you gather enough keys! It gives you the Murren Great-Hammer, which is once beast of a weapon.
The guild is a great introduction to the world of Albion, a place you can restock, get drunk, find new missions, and uncover some secrets.
