We may need to know big key events, for instance - did we indeed decide that Athanar left and Eodwine took up his role as eorl again? Which characters left and why? I think those are the only two things that will affect my characters.
And we might even want to know what kind of natural events occurred.
Any deaths in the hall? That'd be interesting.

The point was to "clean up" the Hall a bit; Athanar and many of his household leave, while some stay, and also some old old characters who no longer have players etc could be dumped, either by leaving with Athanar, or on their own, or in some cases (if the player wishes so) can die.

I don't know who first used the term "Fell Winter", maybe it was me, but the point was merely to use it as simple term for
Nogrod's suggestion of a really evil winter (local, it doesn't mean it has to be nearly as bad anywhere else even in all parts of Rohan), during which some characters might even die, and also it brings all the Scarburgians finally together personally, since they'd have to cooperate and will share the terrible experience - starvation, isolation, illnesses etc.
As for the years: I am fine with 3, would prefer 5, and the original idea was even like 10 but mostly it seems rather long.
