Biography

Born into the Ayar clan to chief Qulun, Baidar (later called Vidar by other people on his travels) lived most of his life on the open steppe of Ekh Oron. The Vidarian Khanate were a small clan of the Merghits whose people struggled for generations. Vidar’s grandfather was one of the great leaders that fought in the great battle between the Arghans and the Merghits. For years they have been pushed to the brink of starvation, shunned by other clans and peoples who would not bat an eye to their suffering.

Seeing the suffering of his people, Vidar exiled himself to find answers to help his people. Vidar used his skills as a warrior to serve as a mercenary, even serving as a mercenary in the continent of Nova Regnus for some time. It is said that he arrived in Nova Regnus after falling through a latrine hole, but that can never be confirmed nor denied. After gaining riches from his time as a mercenary across the sea, Vidar decided it was time to return home and spent around a year to find a way to get back to his people. He returned to his tribe as a hero. Now wiser in the ways of leadership and the world around them, Vidar was ready to lead his clan as his ancestors did. Most notably Bataar Khan, who legend has it united all the nomad tribes and ruled over the continent of Ekh Oron thousands of years ago.

Gaining much renown, several clans either allied or pledged allegiance to the house of Vidar. Not just of his own culture; but of other faiths and cultures. Even taking an interest in philiosphy. Allowing other faiths and cultures to flourish in his lands as long as they prayed for the success of the khanate (kingdom). He states, “I care not for what gods a person worships in their yurt if I can hunt with them afterwards.”

Many tribes despise Vidar’s acceptance of foreign faiths and cultures saying that it would corrupt and anger some of the spirits, bringing unknown horror onto the lands. Other tribes are just jealous of the Vidarian’s wealth and power, raid around the lands of Vidaria in hopes to hinder the power the young Khan has.
