Lore

Tyr is the brave Norse god of war, law, justice, and heroic glory, renowned for sacrificing his hand to bind the wolf Fenrir, placing it in the beast's mouth as a pledge of good faith. When Fenrir realized the trick, he bit off Tyr's hand, but the binding held. Tyr embodies courage, honor, and self-sacrifice, associated with sky and oaths. In myths, he presides over assemblies and duels, ensuring fair combat. Tyr represents the ideal of integrity in battle and law, symbolizing the price of duty and the triumph of order over chaos in Norse cosmology.
