Biography
Grand Calming
Vidar Astridson, as the sitting Calif of Clan Erak helped to form the Inter-governmental Radio System on 18-2 1 PC and named himself the Self Appointed Diplomat of the Nation of Niuyjar.
Niueyjara Civil War
The Niueyjara Civil War began on 14-3 1 PC when the Emperor Olaf Fredradaughter and their family were assassinated by the Reformers, leaving the throne empty and with no clear line of succession. Vidar Astridson took on the role of de facto leader of the Traditionalists and used his position as Niueyjar's representative on the Inter-governmental Radio System attempted to hide the war from the outside world by claiming that Niueyjar was experiencing protests.
The Reformers launched an attack on Erak on 15-5 2 PC, which Clan Erak, under Vidar's direct leadership, managed to repulse. Docked at the city's port during the attack was an Utlian ship which had been delivering Utlian Mor Crabs to Vidar. To prevent knowledge of the civil war from spreading off the island Vidar had the ship impounded and the Utlia and the sailors detained in Ostag Prison. Vidar told the leaders of Akaria and Utlia that there had been an earthquake and the sailors were being treated, neither country believed this and began Operation Crab Rescue in secret to extract the Utlians. The first wing of the Akarian-Utlian strikeforce was sighted by Clan Erak on 18-5 2 PC as it was approaching Erak, this flung Vidar into a rage as he believed that they were disturbing the Cravik and not knowing who owned the ships Vidar made death threats and accusations to everyone on the Inter-governmental Radio System. The noise he produced led to the death of Gap Kutipir. The first wing landed in Erak on 18-5 2 PC, the second wing landed on Niueyjar the next day and made their way to the Ostag Prison where they freed the captive sailors along with several hundred other prisoners and were extracted on 20-5 2 PC. The Akarian-Utlian Alliance publicly revealed their involvment after the rescue.
On 7-3 4 PC the forces of Clan Helgen fired seven Akarian-made omtarre missiles at Erak. Vidar was killed during the bombardment along with thousands of civilians.
