Like the rest of his kin in the Blue Mountains, Vidar's parents were survivors scattered by the fall of Erebor. Unlike his peers, however, Veig chose not to continue the entire way into the Blue Mountains, but rather to settle and set up his smith's shop in a small town in Eriador. At first, it was because he swore never to never go under the mountain again until he could return to his home of Erebor, but, as time wore on, he and his wife became accustomed to their stand-alone house, small garden, and blue skies. So it was that one year after Thorin had reclaimed his throne under-the-mountain that Vidar was born not in his ancestral home, but in a small stone house within the borders of ancient Arnor.

He grew up for many years learning the crafts of his father with an eye towards one day taking over his forge but as the age, a majority came upon him he found himself less and less interested in the finer points of modern smithcraft and increasingly interested in the long lost secrets of the dwarfs from long ago. He took to the road, venturing out first to perform on-site repairs on the behalf of his father, but soon as a simple wandering smith in his own right. Inbetween each night's day at a peasant's farm or ranger's camp he would explore the lands for forgotten tales & artifacts of the ancient people, and at during every hard-earned public-house night he would listen for rumors, tales or snippets of riddles of lost lore.

Thus his days were filled until the War of the Ring. In those days the land grew dark and he found himself called upon to make use of his axe far more often than his craftsman's tools. During those days he stood shoulder to shoulder with the Men of the North and held off a siege of goblins from his father's door. The war brought horrors, but the end of the battles brought hope again. This hope was kindled anew when he heard from a ranger he had befriended that their own Chieften, Aragorn by name, had defeated the armies of the Enemy and reclaimed the Throne of Men. Inspired, curious and somewhat disbelieving, Vidar resolved to make the long trip to Gondor to see this new High King of Men, and the great works that both he, and the men of old, had accomplished.
