Renown is your Hero's familiarity status, or fame, among the people of Albion. Your renown (along with your alignment) determines how people react to you: the more renown you have, the more people will either revere you if good, or despise you if evil. Higher renown will also grant you access to actions (such as the Flirt or Manly Arm Pump expressions in Fable and Fable TLC and the Blow Kiss or Follow expressions in Fable II).
