Farnham Fables opens with Naigye and her niece Cally arriving at a castle, where an unexpected meeting with King Farnham leads into a tale about his three sons and a village inhabited by lizard people. This framing gives the adventure a nested-story premise, connecting the visit to the king with the events of the story he tells.
