 ===Second resurrection===
-In the intervening years, kingdoms and empires rose and fell. Gallowmere was nearly lost to the annals of British history when remnants of the kingdom were brought to a London museum in the late 19th century. Among the artefacts recovered were remains of Zarok's beast transformation<!--We don't know for sure if this is a recreation or the actual body to be fair--> and Sir Dan's body, still in his original armour.
+In the intervening years, kingdoms and empires rose and fell. Gallowmere was nearly lost to the annals of British history when a remnant of the kingdom was brought to a museum in London: the Hero of Gallowmere, Sir Daniel Fortesque, still in his original armour.
-An expedition in 1878 also unearthed the tome once used by Zarok to cast and control the Evernight. This tome came into the possession of the ambitious industrialist [[Lord Palethorn]]. In his pursuit of control over London, Palethorn became obsessed with Zarok's tome, and so sought to raise his own army of the evil dead toward his ends. Once again, Sir Dan was revived and had to deal with this threat.
+An [[Expedition of '78|expedition in 1878]] also unearthed the [[Zarok's spell book|tome]] once used by Zarok to cast and control the Evernight. This tome came into the possession of the ambitious industrialist [[Lord Palethorn]], albeit missing a number of pages. In his pursuit of control over London, Palethorn became obsessed with Zarok's tome, and so sought to raise his own army of the evil dead toward his ends. Once again, Sir Dan was revived and had to deal with this threat.
 Although Sir Dan was slow to grasp his latest predicament, he eventually found support from the ghost of a young [[Winston Chapelmount]], who in turn introduced him to [[Professor Hamilton Kift]], a <!--Not so sure about this one: museum curator and-->researcher looking for a means to stop Lord Palethorn from executing his diabolical plot. Dan was thus sent on a mad dash throughout London, following Palethorn's magical trail. Along the way, he stumbled into an ancient Egyptian exhibit, where he met [[Kiya]], the lesser-known mummified consort of [[Ramesses II]]. She instantly fell in love with Dan, which he returned in kind.

 Dan and his newfound allies faced evil after evil, defeating many of Palethorn's minions and allies, including [[The Iron Slugger]] and [[The Count]]. Tragedy struck however when Kiya was murdered by [[The Ripper]] while she was out on a mission in [[Whitechapel]]. Dan became so blindsided by this that he chose to abandon his mission and fled into [[The Sewers|the sewers]] under London. There, he happened upon a civilisation known as [[Mullocks]], who worshipped him as a God due to finding his heroic statue at some point in the past.
-While saving the Mullocks from their archnemeses known as [[Octomators]], Dan learnt about a mysterious object known as the [[Time Stone]] and discovered that the Professor had previously invented a [[Chrono-chair|time machine]]. After confronting the Professor, Dan made his way into the Museum where the time machine was exhibited. Having repaired it, Dan travelled through space into the sewers, where he stole the Mullock's Time Stone. Finally equipped with a fully functional time machine, he went back in time and saved Kiya from The Ripper. The time travelling Dan then merged with his past self to resolve the resultant time paradox.

-With Kiya in tow, Dan was back in the game. He made his way to the spires of a London cathedral where he successfully recovered the final page of the scattered spell book. It was too little too late however, as Palethorn simply snatched the page away from him. Once Dan had defeated Palethorn's lackeys [[Dogman]] and [[Mander]], Palethorn proceeded to summon a huge [[The Demon|demon]]. Using his extensive combat skills, Dan was able to drive a wedge between Palethorn and the demon, making the demon turn on Palethorn, crashing his spaceship. Rather than admit defeat, Palethorn chose to go out with a bang; with his dying breath, he ignited a bomb, which Sir Dan barely escaped. Then, it was finally over. London was safe.
