Fallen Fen is a region of the Edgelands featured in Fable: The Journey.
Overview[]
The Fen is mostly a rocky wetland with its main road spotted with rocks and twisted dry trees. There are lots of ruins of the old destroyed fort that guarded the beacon which was supposed to lighten the whole moor. According to Betty , it used to be safe to cross the fen due to the beacon’s magic flames keeping the endless hordes of hollow men at bay, but once its fire was mysteriously extinguished the creatures dominated the whole region killing everything on their path, rendering the region abandoned from humans for more than a century.
Stonehaven[]
Stonehaven is an old fort located in the Fallen Fen, once home to a garrison of the Albion Royal Army. Their presence and the beacon of light they used ensured that the crossing of the fen was relatively easy. Unfortunately, the beacon was "mysteriously" extingushed one night, allowing the legions of hollow men found in the Fen a chance to come out and kill all the soldiers at the fort, making travel through the area exceptionally difficult. The ghosts of the soldiers were cursed to maintain watch over the Fen, repeating the night of their failure for eternity.
During the gameplay it is revealed that what has really happened was that the beacon was put out by the soldiers themselves in order to make the region darker so they could throw a surprise party for one of them. Also, the hollow men were let in by the gatekeeper who mistook them for dressed-up soldiers for the party.

Fable: The Journey[]
When crossing the Fallen Fen in an attempt to take a shortcut to Sable's Crossing and the River Ironwash due to Betty claiming it's a shorter route than the one Theresa knew, Gabriel explored Stonehaven and relit the beacon after learning about its curse, banishing the hollow men and allowing the ghosts a chance to enjoy their eternal rest.
Trivia[]
- According to one of ghost soldiers, they have spent 38921 nights reenacting the night when the beacon was put out, which means they’ve spent more than 106 years cursed at the fort.
