The game begins with a retelling of the battle of [[Gallowmere]], where [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]] (the game's main protagonist) supposedly defeated the evil sorcerer [[Zarok]], before dying himself. He was known as the ''Hero of Gallowmere'' since then. ~~Later~~, this is shown to be ~~just~~ a lie made up by [[King Peregrin]]~~, however~~, since Daniel was killed by the very first wave of arrows.
