Could you elaborate? I just want to know if its possible, Im not interested in Fable modding if I cant change the landscape

Such edits would best be done on new maps and that requires an STB edit. Landscape requires STB edits. While it is strictly possible, there is no editor. There's not even a public viewer. There's no tool that you could use to help, it's all proprietary so you can't exactly import a map from 3DS or anything like that. So anything you'd do would have to be done by hand. But that's just the STB LEV and STATIC_MAP_COMMON_HEADER.
Then there's the WAD LEV. Because of how navdata works, you'd really only want to extensively edit maps where NPCs don't need to walk around, and we have no complete and proper navdata tool. The heightmap would have to be adjusted at every point to line up with the landscape, because Fable sucks like that. Again, no tool.
After that it's easy, but no one's gotten to the "after that" part.
And core quest scripts are hardcoded and so, again, while being strictly possible, is prohibitively difficult to do anything with.
