Being so close to the events of Fable II, this could mean that the Hero of Southcliff is the Hero of Bowerstone's father. Although this is a mini game, it has been voiced by the same person who voiced Theresa, Zoe Wanamaker, this most likely said past events about 10 to 20 years before the hero in Fable II was born, because it seemed Arfur was a child, and Giles seemingly in his early twenties. This treasure is found in the chest in the Chamber of Fate. At the end of the tale, it is explained that the hero hid his treasure in a cave so that one day his descendants could find it. Afterwards, it is set in a new town, unseen in the Fable games, called Southcliff. This tale is set initially in the vicinity of Bowerstone, where the hero sees a young Arfur being chased by Giles. There are three crowns to be chosen, one is a crown that is completely made out of wood and has a small crown carving on it, the second is a royalty like crown, encrusted with jewels and being made out of gold, while the last is a more evil looking one, with spikes adorning from it. Ultimately the player can choose a crown which, if the player has Xbox Live, will allow items to be sent to your account by means of your email address.

The player also chooses to help one of three different women and subsequently marry her. The boy grows up to become a hero, and the player may choose if he is a good or evil character. It shows the story of a boy whose family is killed by a White Balverine and how this boy tries to hunt down the beast. The story is presented as a Cow and Corset production by the Bowerstone Theater Co.

It can be considered a prequel to Fable II, since the rewards obtained through this game can be collected in a chest in the Guild Cave in Fable II. A Hero's Tale was the online mini game at that followed the story of a young boy.
