Quick chronological facts (this will be expanded into sections or separate articles and serves only as a draft):
- Young Farkas was being prepared to rule Avardon (as primary successor).
- Rival House Steinberg takes rule instead after Gabor's death.
- Farkas works really hard to prove himself as capable leader to the people of Avardon, earning great popularity.
- Farkas becomes the ruler and is beloved, but paranoid and obsessed with securing his power.
- Farkas orders killing of young Steinbergs. Generals avoid killing children, only one gets killed.
- Farkas loses trust in the loyalty of his own men, looks into other solutions such as diseases and magic.
- Disease gets out of hand, killing many people. Problems in the county are solved by strict ruling.
- Farkas' rule is being challenged and he becomes more obsessed with keeping the title in his family.
- Farkas catches the disease himself and becomes infertile, however his wife is still pregnant.
- Farkas kills his own wife after she gives birth to a third daughter, leaving him without male successor.
- Dark Powers turn Avardon into a Domain of Dread, a purgatory that mockingly reflects Farkas' evil acts.
- The county becomes less sustainable, poverty and famine cause uprisings and civil wars.
- Farkas uses his newly acquired powers to put people in line, to enforce law with iron fist.
- Monsters are created and used to follow Farkas' will, causing decay in the land.
- Population plummets, too many die and survivors hide where they can, scavanging remnants of civilization.
- Everything is slowly being rebuilt by surviving locals and foreigners taken by the mists.
- Factions arise, Farkas becomes more of an inactive ruler, letting them fight each other. Divide and conquer.
