In 1386, Zarok resurfaced and cast a spell called the Evernight, which turned the skies over Gallowmere black and robbed the innocent of their very souls in order to revive the dead. Fortesque was unexpectedly reanimated when magic from the Evernight drifted into his crypt and settled upon his decomposing corpse. <!--This is a bit speculative, no? It is (perhaps intentionally) unclear whether this act was a side effect of the spell, or an unseen force willed Fortesque's revival on its own.--> | In 1386, Zarok resurfaced and cast a spell called the Evernight, which turned the skies over Gallowmere black and robbed the innocent of their very souls in order to revive the dead.

Frustrated, Zarok made a last-ditch decision to face the would-be hero one-on-one, transmogrifying into a [[Zarok's Beast Transformation|beastly form]]. The battle was intense, but Fortesque made good on his mission and became the hero he was always meant to be. As Zarok destroyed his own fortress, a [[vulture]] swept Sir Dan in its talons and carried him back to his crypt. For his heroic deeds, Dan had earned a place in the Hall of Heroes, where he remained for the next five hundred years. | Frustrated, Zarok made a last-ditch decision to face the would-be hero one-on-one, transmogrifying into a [[Zarok's Beast Transformation|beastly form]].

====Apocryphal account==== | |||
An alternative account exists, according to which Zarok allegedly elected to use Sir Dan's ophiophobia against him and morphed into a giant king cobra-rattler hybrid instead of a figurehead-shaped beast. The outcome remains the same, but for the genie Al-Zalam to turn back and pull Sir Dan from the rubble, flying him back to the crypt.{{Gameref|MPSP}} | |||
