Vidar the Creator

The story of strictlymids, formally known as Vidar the Creator, begins on the dusty floor of a shack his town proudly called Vitra, or old Norse for wisdom. Though the shack's walls were flimsy, it was filled to the brim with a roaring sea of knowledge. The books ranged on topics covering everything from classic Roman architecture to Sumerian military strategies, and he read every drop. In his readings he came upon a special book that explored the existential nature of his world, The Sacred Texts of Soleveil. The book motivated Vidar to build a great boat and travel the open ocean in hopes of learning more about this new light.

Vidar's travels took him far and wide, but eventually he found himself in the realm of Eldham. He hade made friends in Valreach before arriving at the new world, so he was able to finding lodging within the Holy Castle of Ashenrein. Vidar rose the ranks quickly and before he knew it he was on the Council of Ashenrein in his promotion to the Head of Building & New Settlements. Over time, Vidar had come to grasp his first grand plan in the establishment of a system of public libraries throughout the realm, he came to coin "The Shared Pages". These points of access were to act not only as a conduit to public knowledge but as a way to help expand his influence in the world's heated geo-political scene.

Vidar the Creator also soon established, The Scholars; a group dedicated to constructing, maintaining, and defending this system of libraries.

Sometime after the collapse of the Uraki Imperium, Vidar established his first settlement. The village was named Valsgarde, and served as a farming hamlet for all of the Scholars.
