Everything changed when an army of the undead began marching towards [[The Haunted Ruins|Castle Peregrin]]. Unbeknownst to the king, it was led by his very own court magician Zarok.

Some sources offer a different version of Fortesque's death. They claim that Zarok had trapped a genie called [[Al-Zalam]] in Fortesque's head on the day of the battle, that Fortesque caught his foot on the grass and twisted his ankle before being shot,<!--Bloodmonath dialogue in Resurrection--> and that the one ultimately responsible for his death was none other than Zarok's right-hand man, [[Lord Kardok]].{{Gameref|MPSP}}<!--Implied by dialogue in Zarok's Lair in Resurrection --> | |||
