For years, Daniel Fortesque had regaled the nobles of Gallowmere with wild tales of slain dragons and vanquished legions. The King was so impressed that he made Daniel a knight and appointed him head of the Royal Battalion. Of course it was only an honorary post - Gallowmere had not seen a war in many centuries - but the King liked stories, and Dan was an excellent storyteller. | For years, Daniel Fortesque had regaled the nobles of Gallowmere with wild tales of slain dragons and vanquished legions.

Sir Dan was thrust at the front of the King's army to face a monstrous enemy. The battle commenced and within seconds Sir Dan fell to the ground, struck in the eye with the very first arrow fired. His wound was fatal and the army was left to fight on without him. | Sir Dan was thrust at the front of the King's army to face a monstrous enemy.

Zarok's legions were defeated, but Zarok himself was never found. Embarrassed by Sir Dan's poor show, and realizing his subjects needed to feel safe, King Peregrin declared that Sir Daniel Fortesque had died in mortal combat, seconds after killing the sinister wizard. A hero's tomb was erected to Sir Dan, the history books inscribed with tales of his valour. | Zarok's legions were defeated, but Zarok himself was never found.

Zarok was soon forgotten, a lost character in history's plays. But Zarok himself never forgot, he lay in hiding, creating a bigger, stronger army of mutated monsters. | Zarok was soon forgotten, a lost character in history's plays.

The evil sorceror Zarok has reanimated the many souls in the Fortesque graveyard. His spell also reached into the tomb of Sir Dan and brought our hero back to life, but this fortune may be a two-edged sword; Sir Dan must now fight the army of undead to escape. | The evil sorceror Zarok has reanimated the many souls in the Fortesque graveyard.

Zarok has turned once-friendly scarecrows into deadly whirling dervishes, with an army of tormentive crows at call. Giant machines also roam these cornfields, waiting for an opportunity to crush Sir Dan. | Zarok has turned once-friendly scarecrows into deadly whirling dervishes, with an army of tormentive crows at call.

The Asylum has housed some pretty mad hatters in its past, but since Zarok has taken control the residents have been dangerously psychotic. Sir Dan should exercise caution in this madhouse. | The Asylum has housed some pretty mad hatters in its past, but since Zarok has taken control the residents have been dangerously psychotic.

These pirates were searching for treasure at the bottom of the sea when Zarok launched them into the night sky. Now they sail the skies eternally as their pirate songs drift into the night fog. This ship's timbers won't be the only thing shivering when Sir Dan comes aboard. | These pirates were searching for treasure at the bottom of the sea when Zarok launched them into the night sky.

Deep in the city of madness, Zarok lurks in a castle that wreaks of evil.
