There are "Start of Turn" and "End of Turn" effects, does start of turn effect last till the End of turn?

Word of Misery: 1 Dmg at EoT,

Despair: 1 fatigue for damage taken. SoT

Thus with this two cards, will one who fail the word of misery test and get 1 dmg, will the hero also take 1 fatigue ?

I think you mean "Word Of Misery" and "Word Of Pain". WoM effects everything "during this turn", *** is played "at the end of your turn". I think WoM triggers for *** played in the same turn because if we are AT the end of the turn, we have not yet GONE PAST the end of the turn.

BTW, does "Start of turn" occur after the initial OL card draw - i.e. if the OL draws a "Start of the Turn" card at the start of his turn, may he use it immediately?

The phrasing (p. 8, OL turn summary) "Then, the overlord player draws one Overlord card, and he may play any number of Overlord cards that specifically state they may be played “at the start of your turn.” seems to allow it.
