Vydar/Ullar Factoid

I found this at a name meaning website

Quote:
VIDAR m Scandinavian, Norse Mythology
From the Old Norse Víðarr, which is possibly derived from víðr "forest" and arr "warrior"... [more]
So Vydar should really be Ullar, and possibly vice-versa. Just an interesting factoid. I wonder if Hasbro knew about this. They seem to reference lots of other Norse mythology in their sets(Lindesfarme, Jotun, Valhalla, Valkyrie, etc.)

Interesting, it is possible that things should be switched.

Or perhaps you could just settle on Vydar being a largely Norse themed army and given that all viking lived in the wilderness....

And Norse were village and town dwellers. A civilized people. Not 'wilderness dwellers'. The Vikings in particular were seamen not forest men.

HeroScape is back Baby! Whoo Hoo!!!
