Fable/Abhorsen connection
you wont really understand this unless you have read the "Old Kingdom" series books by Garth Nix (better known as the "Abhorsen series" in America)
so I think Fable copied it a bit, heres why:
SETTING:
1. They are both in an english style
2. Abhorsen's Old Kingdom is a semi-ruined country that flows with magic in a small continent... Fable's Old Kingdom is the old Albion, which had a 10x bigger Magical flow...
3. Albion is a much less magically enabled continent compared to the old kingdom, the other country in Abhorsen (I forget the name) is practically magicless, yet knows about it and can practice it close to the border...
4. Both worlds are a shell of their former selves, broken and shattered, leaderless and corrupt, monsters roaming free with only a few (heroes for Fable and the Abhorsens for Old Kingdom series) to keep order...
CHARACTERS:
1. Sabriel sets out to find her missing fatehr when she is a teenager only to see him die near the end, but she becomes the Queen, and the new Abhorsen (which together are much like the Archon) while The Hero sets off as a teen to find his mom and sister only to see his mom die (and sister too if u like) and becomes what could be considered a Newer style of Archon...
2. Both main villains are powerful Etheral beings whose soul lingers in a selected host, both raise an army and attempt to take over the world through magical stones (cullis gates and Charter stones) and both get banished to the pit from which it came (the void and the Death realm)
I am tired so I shall not write anymore... for now
