Fabul(ファブール,Fabūru?) is a kingdom in the world of Final Fantasy IV. It consists of a castle, which contains the city of Fabul within its walls for the safety of its citizens. The kingdom is populated and defended by a squadron of monks, and Yang Fang Leiden is their leader, while the King of Fabul rules the kingdom itself. Fabul is the nation that holds the Wind Crystal.
Cecil Harvey, Rosa Joanna Farrell, Edward Chris von Muir and Rydia arrive at the castle with Yang, warning the King that Baron is seeking Fabul's Wind Crystal. The king initially does not believe them, as he does not trust the Dark Knight Cecil. Yang and Edward convince the king that Cecil is trustworthy, and the party helps Yang defend the castle against Baron.
The Siege of Fabul begins with bombing from the Red Wings, and the monks are forced to retreat. Many of the monks are defeated by the monsters, which now make up much of the Baronian army. Eventually, Cecil, Edward and Yang are the only ones left standing, and have to retreat to the Crystal Room. Kain Highwind enters, and Cecil asks for his assistance. He reveals he is now working for Golbez, and Kain and Cecil duel. Kain wins the duel, and Golbez shows his face for the first time. Rosa and Rydia come to the rescue, but Golbez manages to wound Yang and Edward, and take Rosa as a hostage, after which Kain steals the Crystal.
Cecil, Rydia, Edward and Yang ponder for a way to get Rosa back. Cecil decides they should go see Cid Pollendina in Baron, who will give them an airship. Yang asks the King of Fabul if they can borrow a sailing ship to take them to Baron. The King agrees, and gives Cecil the Deathbringer, which instantly kills any creature Cecil strikes with it. However, the King notes it cannot work on true evil.
Later in the game, Cecil returns to Fabul after visiting the Sylph Cave in the Underworld and speak to Yang's wife, Sheila. She will give Cecil a Frying Pan, which can be used to wake Yang up. After doing so, returning to Fabul and talking to Sheila allows Cecil to get a Knife, the most powerful Throwing weapon for Edge. If thrown, it will deal 9999 damage regardless of the enemy's defenses, although it can still miss the untransformed Zeromus.
While Yang and others are away at Damcyan celebrating its reconstruction, Sheila goes into labor. A pair of monks cross Mt. Hobs to inform Yang, and he returns to Fabul with Cecil and Rosa. Sheila gives birth to a baby girl, and Yang asks Cecil to be her godfather and name her. Cecil agrees and names the baby Ursula.
During Yang's tale, Yang is training with three Monks but refuses to train Ursula, believing her status as a princess makes her unfitting for combat. While Yang speaks to Fabul's chancellor about Baron and rumors they are again seeking the Crystals, Ursula flees the castle and heads to Mt. Hobs to inspect a shooting star she saw fall to the west of the mountains.
They investigate the star and begin their journey back when they witness the Red Wings flying towards Fabul. The group returns to the kingdom in time to defend it from attack. Eventually Ursula and Yang battle Kain in the Crystal Room to protect the Crystal, but Kain simply leaps over them and seizes it before escaping. Yang prepares a ship in the wake of the battle, and with the help of his trainee monks he and Ursula set out to Baron.
In The Crystals chapter, after the party finds Yang and Ursula being cared for in Kaipo, Sheila will give them a Frying Pan and a Ladle with which to revive them.
When the player enters the throne room, a cutscene with the Fabulian king with start. Cecil warns the king of the upcoming danger and Golbez' attack. The king places his trust on the party, and will ask Cecil to help defend his country. With this, Yang, Edward, and Cecil are assigned to be the commanders of the castle's fortifications, while Rosa and Rydia are assigned to help with the wounded.
It is the first right from 1F's entrance. Livingway can be found here, and he has become Recordingway the Journalist. After the siege, the party will get a free stay to replenish their strength. They make their plans to rescue Rosa: Cecil says that their only hope is to obtain one of Cid's airships. Yang then proposes to ask the king for a ship.
Fabul's infirmary is located on the west tower's 2F. Before the siege, it wards no monks and the white mage in charge, if spoken to, will ask if the player is injured. After the siege, a number of injured monks are now recovering here. The white mage also reveals that she idolizes Rosa and how strong her magic is.
The couple's room is in the last floor of the west tower. Before the siege, Yang will introduce the party to Sheila, and tells her of their aid as well - with this, Sheila thanks them. After the siege, she says that she beat and chased out the monsters and Baron soldiers with her frying pan.
It is located in the east tower's 2F. The dancing girl is a monk in disguise. The man at the counter will welcome Yang and ask him if he's back from training.
Just upstairs the pub, it is the king's private chambers. The player can get a free rest on the bed before the siege. After the siege and after the Inn cutscene, the player must go here to inform the king of their plans. The king is injured, but is recovering, and agrees to give the party a ship with crew. He also hands the Deathbringer to Cecil.
In the SNES version, after Golbez's siege on Fabul, the two guards on Floor 2 right before the King's Room both say nothing but "T".
In Final Fantasy IX, Cid Fabool IX, the regent of Lindblum, is an allusion to Fabul. Lindblum, similar to Fabul, is a giant castle with the town within it.
