Siege of Samarkand

Siege of Samarkand is set after the events of Lionhead Studio's Fable III. Albion, a land long desired by those who should not possess it. For centuries great Heroes have defended it, but the age of Heroes is over. When Heroes are no longer born, they must be made. Albion's end is coming, there can be no turning back, all that matters now is ... freedom.
Also, available is the prequel; Diary of Victoria Backson, and coming soon, the sequel; Fable: Into the Woods.
==Shelving of Fable: Siege of Samarkand and Related Media==
I know I have shown very little activity on this forum, and as such Siege of Samarkand has pretty much remained in the shadows, but recently I have found out some information about the release of a Fable companion novel. Thus, I have decided to shelve the Siege of Samarkand indefinitely. The release of Fable: Edge of the World has an uncanny resemblance to the overall story line of Siege of Samarkand, and so I feel I cannot continue with it for belief I could be charged with plagiarism. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hopefully, the characters I created for this world may return in another fan fiction I am currently working on.
==Story==
Albion has seen seven years of prosperity by the hands of a reasonable King. In an understanding uniting their lands, the King was betrothed to Kalin's niece, of whom they bore a single son. But people believe the union has weakened their king, and their country, for the Hero of Brightwall is growing less and less studious with his regal duties, and thus is spending an increasing amount of time abroad in Aurora.
Whilst Albion lives on obliviously, a plague ravages the eastern lands of Samarkand. It has taken the young lives of many people, leaving their skin festering in boils, and to die bleeding from their eyes, ears and mouths. A darkness has their grip on one of Albion's biggest manufacturers of gunpowder. It was Logan's promise to aid them after the plight of the Crawler, but like many he gave, he did not uphold it. Now the Emperor of the land is dead, murdered in his sleep, and members of his Imperial Guard have absconded north to the Old Kingdom, adamant in the end of Albion's monarchy, hoping to end the corruption that's infested their land and livelihoods.
What happens next is nothing short of a war between factions. The distrust that slowly grows towards the Hero King was always a spark that needed kindling, and the cold-blooded Marshall Da Zhong is the catalyst they needed. It is only a matter of time to find the next triumvirate, and to save Albion not only from a new threat, and a plague that has a growing death rate. The corruption of one land, may be the end of the Monarch.
