In a Viking land called Freeze-It, there lived a fierce, adventurous, and exploratory young Viking named Idan. The kingdom had a lot of problems, the biggest problem being the centralization of power and resources. Idan who loved his people unconditionally desperately saw a need to save his kingdom from this eminent disaster.
Idan went to the rulers of Freeze-it and proposed his ideas of true decentralization and giving power to the masses, to reset the system of governance and prevent centralization from destroying all of them. He suggested that a true decentralization system would prevent invasion of privacy, control and censorship, lack of transparency and accountability, and many other factors which could lead to the destruction of their entire race.
Idan’s idea was however considered to be too liberal, non profitable, and ‘not a way to rule’. The rulers of Freeze-it upon realizing the magnitude of liberty asserted in Idan’s idea saw Idan as a potential threat and someone who could pull a vicious rebellion against the throne. With this in mind, the king of Freeze-It with his advisors began plotting to exile Idan from the kingdom of Freeze-It.
But Idan was ahead of this primitive ruler and all his advisors in plotting. Idan left Freeze-It without saying goodbye to any, Idan sneaked out of the kingdom on a cold night when the children and forests of Freeze-It were fast asleep. Abandoning his people was a difficult task for Idan but he understood that a man must do whatever must be done regardless of how he feels.
A few years after Idan departed from Freeze-It, his prediction came true. Freeze-it subsequently ended with severe devastation due to its compromised decentralization which made the kingdom nearly uninhabitable. Had they listened to Idan, the kingdom would have been saved.
Idan being right about his prediction about Freeze-It might have been the best thing to happen to all Vikings and the entire human race.
Knowing about the wrath that befell Freeze-It, Idan feared the rest of the universe might face the doom of Freeze-It as their way of life and governance was pretty much the same, if not worse than that of Freeze-It.
With this in mind, Idan explored the universe to seek the knowledge of the old gods and the new. Idan was on a mission. He sailed to lands far and near preaching decentralization and spreading the gospel of Web 300.
While doing this, Idan earned himself a celebrated reputation as a fierce rebel and a Viking liberator. He was known throughout kingdoms far and wide for his love for freedom for his people and power to the masses.
During his conquest, he played a role in establishing a safe drinking water system in a kingdom called the Gold Coast. Idan had never been to this kingdom but this was not a shock to any man as all were aware that Idan’s love for humanity knew no borders.
Some of the known kingdoms Idan sailed to spread the word of true decentralization were WhatsDown, Facepen, and a little blue bird kingdom.
The bluebird kingdom was his most recent conquest. This kingdom was recently conquered by a wealthy Mars-obsessed, meme freak, doughnut physique Viking, who was on a mission to transform the bluebird kingdom into his playing toy.
Idan's voyage landed on the kingdom of the blue bird and his mission continued……
