Quick chronological facts

(temporarily copied here from the Farkas' article)

• 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.
