Víðarr or Vidar in Norse mythology is an Æsir and considered a god of vengeance. In the mythological lore, Víðarr is described as the son of Odin and the jötunn Gríðr, and is foretold to avenge his father's death by killing the wolf Fenrir at Ragnarök.

Legacy and influence

Vidar had a totem named after him in the popular dice game Orlog, played during the 9th century. The piece "Vidar's Might" would remove a number of the opponents die from play for that turn. The piece was in the possession of a Norse man in Fornburg, who after being defeated gifted the piece to Eivor Varinsdottir.
