noWedge is one of the founding members of Valhalla and the ruler of Sweatros, the largest nation in the purple trading sphere. The Church of noWedge has been formed based upon the teachings of noWedge. He was replaced by chefjoe as regent of Valhalla on February 21, 2008 after a vote by the Norns of Valhalla to remove him from office because of "increasingly erratic behaviour by the Regent of Valhalla, noWedge, including threatening and intimidating behaviour to foreign officials, Valhalla's own allies and even one of Valhalla's protectorates," as well as "an inability to keep IC and OOC situations separate." As of February 22, 2008, he was ejected from Valhalla due to his refusal to follow a direct order.
