Tyr
Tyr is the lawful good greater god of law and justice. He has many titles among mortals, among them the Even-Handed, the Maimed God, the Blind Overlord, the Wounded one and the Just God. These titles symbolized his nature to his followers.
Tyr is portrayed as blind or with a bloody bandage over his eyes and missing his right hand. His wounded eyes are seen as symbolic of 'blind justice' and the sometimes cost of living a lawful life.
He is usually shown as a burly, noble warrior with a powerful build and a bearded face. Tyr is often shown wielding a powerful magic sword or warhammer and dressed in light armor or chain mail.
Tyr is strong-spirited and noble. His origins stem from the Norse pantheon and there, he was considered the bravest and the most honorable of all the gods. He is primarily concerned with the punishment of wrong-doers and the general furthering of law and good in the world. Tyr hates duplicity, trickery, rule-breaking, and wanton destruction. He likewise hates lies and the breaking of oaths and is disgusted by people who earn from such things. For his own part, he never breaks a promise.
Tyr is a fair judge, but he is hard to understand to those outside his faith, as they more readily perceive him as a stern and rigid punisher. On the other hand, he is seen as a brave father figure to his followers.
Among Tyr's worshipers are judges, lawyers, magistrates, the oppressed, paladins, and police.
