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.

With each defeat of Zarok's minions, Dan earned the right to claim numerous weapons and resources from the [[Hall of Heroes]], that he might once again confront Zarok and lay him low once and for all. | ||
Although Dan inadvertently released Zarok's most ancient and powerful force in the [[Shadow Demons]], he would defeat many of Zarok's most insidious traps, including an elaborate [[The Time Device|clockwork maze]] before finally reaching the core of the wizard's Lair.

However, Zarok had at least one more trick up his sleeve--an indomitable elite group of bodyguards called [[Fazguls]], ready to strike Sir Dan down. Using the freed souls he had gathered, Dan summoned his own spectral warriors and eventually slew the Fazguls. There, he also met the undead [[Lord Kardok]] and struck him down. | ||
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]].
