Hammers of Grimjaws

The Hammers of Grimjaws are the highest ranking and most elite order of paladins who dedicate their lives and services to Tyr.

Structure

Members of the Grimjaws are sponsored by existing members from the ranks of only two orders of Tyr, the Knights of Holy Judgment and the Knights of the Merciful Sword.

Culture

The choosing of the Hammers' members is in part done by Tyr himself, in order to ascend the order's ranks, a candidate must pray and receive a vision from Tyr. A vision of Tyr's warhammer shows the god's favor and permits immediate acceptance into the order. A vision of Tyr's sword means that the aspiring Hammer has failed in some way and must atone before entering the ranks. A successful atonement quest allows the aspirant to join the Order as though they had seen the vision of the warhammer. In 1483 DC, only 8 Hammers were known in active service, though many people outside of the church believe the order doesn't exist at all.
