Tyr appears as a powerful-looking bearded man who has lost his right hand.
It was the losing of his hand that firmly established Tyr as the god of law and trust.
When the dwarves finally forged a cord that could bind the Fenris Wolf,
the great monster would only consent to having the cord put upon it if one of the Aesir would place his hand in the Wolf's mouth.
Tyr, knowing what was planned,
placed his right hand in Fenris' mouth without hesitation.
When Fenris found that he was bound,
he bit off Tyr's hand,
but could not escape.
By honoring this contract,
Tyr became the god of law.

In his aspect as war god,
Tyr watches over the Valkyries and makes sure that only the most valiant mortal warriors are taken to Odin in Valhalla.

Tyr wields a +3 sword in his left hand that does 2-20 points of damage on a hit.
He automatically senses the presence of any thief who comes within 100" of him,
and he can see invisible objects.

TYR (Teer) 
Grimjaws, the Even-Handed

God of Justice
LG 
Greater God
Heaven
Symbol: Set of balanced scales, resting 
on the head of a war hammer.



NOTES: TYR's is a new faith, appearing 
in the FR within the past 
1000 years.  His title as the "even-handed" 
refers to his position as a god 
of justice, and is a grim joke considering 
that the appearances of TYR show him 
as missing his right hand.  TYR is likely 
the being of the same name found in the 
Norse Mythos.  Though no other 
Deities of that realm are present, && 
TYR is portrayed as a god of justice only 
&& NOT war.
