In reality however, Zarok was never banished as the King was unaware of his treachery and he had his castle built while still serving as the King's Court Magician. Once his scheming was complete and his army amassed, Zarok led his horde from his haven through the Silver Mountains and through the Silver Woods and into the [[Pumpkin Gorge (MediEvil)|pumpkin lands]]. Although Zarok tried taking [[Gallows Town]] using a [[Jabberwocky]], the beast was defeated by Sir Dan. Zarok's army eventually took over the flood lands. The King feared the zombies would try capture the Enchanted Earth, so he once again sent his Militia to stand against Zarok's forces. | ||

As the battle began, Sir Daniel Fortesque was felled by the very first arrow. Gallowmere's Militia pushed on, however, fighting for victory without Dan's leadership. [[Canny Tim]], Daniel's second-in-command, managed to kill Zarok's champion [[Lord Kardok]]. The Militia finally emerged victorious. | As the battle began, Sir Daniel Fortesque was felled by the very first arrow fired.

Although Zarok's body was never found, he was thought to be dead and was proclaimed as such to the people of Gallowmere. All the unholy Shadow Demons that remained in the mortal world were trapped underneath the Enchanted Earth by decree of King Peregrin, their tomb sealed with what became known as the [[Shadow Artefact]]. | Although Zarok's body was never found, he was thought to be dead and was proclaimed as such to the people of Gallowmere.
