Domains are land pieces brought together by a mysterious force known only as the "Dark Powers". Each domain is mystically ruled by a being called a "darklord", which is a person, monster, or being who has committed an act or acts of evil so foul as to attract special attention from the Dark Powers. The darklords are imprisoned within the borders of their domains and cannot escape by any means, although most can seal their domain borders with a thought. Within their domains, the darklords are forever tormented by the objects of their desire (often the objects they committed their crimes to achieve), which the Dark Powers dangle before them like the fruits of Tantalus.
A Timeline of Domain Development
- 351 BC Summer - The massacre at the Wedding of Sergei von Zarovich occurs.[1] Barovia forms as the first Ravenloft domain due the actions of Strahd von Zarovich.[2]
- 547 BC 1934 Forfarian Calendar - The Execution of Andrew ApFittle. Tristen ApBlanc wins a bloody civil war for Forfar. He orders the execution of the last ApFittle. As Tristen claims lordship of Forfar for himself, the Dark Powers respond. Forlorn becomes the second domain to form in Ravenloft.[3][4]
- 565 BC -
Leederik's Tower becomes a floating pocket domain[9]
- 579 BC - Strahd and Azalin create a portal to Mordent[12], where The Alchemist conducts strange research on changing the soul.[13] The Mists snatch up Mordent before either Strahd or Azalin can make good their escape, leaving them with only hazy dream-like recollections of what happened.[12]
- 579 BC - Azalin leaves the service of Strahd.[14][5] Darkon forms as he leaves Barovia.[15][14][5][15]
- 588 BC - The Scourge of Arak[17] Keening appears.[5]
- 596 BC - Cumbre de Oro forms.[19]
- 600 BC - Vechor is revealed.[5][6][7] As Ravenloft claims the lair of Easan the Mad, Ahmi Vanjuko is taken as well. As the Mists surround the mansion, Vanjuko flees but winds up in Kartakass.[21]
- 600 BC - The Drowning Deep forms.[22]
- 601 BC - Ustalav (or some version of it) forms as a domain within the Land of Mists.[23]
- 603 BC - Bakholis totures and murders Marta and Karlus.[24] The domain of Invidia is revealed.[5]
- 611 BC - Shadowborn Manor is claimed by the Mists.[6][7]
- 620 BC
Maridrar was an Oerth kingdom, and after more than a century of war, it was the last to fall to the evil Velkaarn. Maridrar is drawn into the mists. [26]
- 630 BC - The Sea of Sorrows becomes the western coast of the Core.[5] Moridana a perversion of Maridrar appears from the mists to join the western core.[27][28]
- 635 BC - Meredoth's mass murder and reanimation of his subjects[30] causes Nebligtode to form,[5] drawn in from off the coast of Norwold (a territory of the Alphatian Empire in the world of Mystara).[31] At this stage of its evolution, Nebligtode consists of a number of islands[32] in the Sea of Sorrows.[33]
- 646 BC - Avonleigh arises from the Phantasmal Forest.[6][7] Note that there is some discrepancy here on when and how the Phantasmal Forest first forms. The Audio CD for A Light in the Belfry have the Phantasmal Forest taken as a part of Avonleigh when it enters Ravenloft. The 3rd Edition Ravenloft products infer that the Phantasmal Forest already existed in Ravenloft, and that Tergeron Manor simply emerge from within in upon arrival to the Land of Mists.[6][7]
According to the comments left by John W. Mangrum, the Phantasmal Forest exists as a manifestation of Ebonbane's evil[38] as opposed to the origins given in A Light in the Belfry.
