The New York City Fabletown is restricted to Fables who are, or can pass, as normal humans. Non-human-looking Fables are restricted to the "Farm," which is resented by many of them, despite the Farm's comforts and large size. At one point, a non-human Fable points out that "it ''is'' a prison, ''because we aren't allowed to leave!" '' While Fabletown is run, ostensibly, along democratic lines, in practice many of the same people have stayed in office for centuries, at least until recently. The longtime mayor was Old King Cole , who delegated much of his work to his assistant, first Ichabod Crane , and after his resignation to avoid charges of Sexual Harassment , Snow White . The sheriff of Fabletown was The Big Bad Wolf , or "Bigby Wolf," who had acquired the ability to assume human form, until his resignation in the wake of Cole's loss of office. Bigby was hampered in his work by the agreement that had made him part of the Fable community; many of the less-human Fables had suffered his predations in the "Homelands," and one part of the compromise that was struck to allow him to join the others in the New World was that he should never, ever be allowed on the Farm under any circumstances whatsoever. Fabletown predates the British acquisition of New York, and has always been kept deeply secret from the "Mundy" authorities. It has its own system of laws, including capital punishment or imprisonment at hard labor on the Farm for criminal Fables, or those who reveal their true nature to Mundys. |
