Tyr
Tyr is the lawful good greater god of law and justice in the Faerûnian pantheon and leader of the coalition of deities known as the Triad.
The titles of The God of Justice allegorized his nature to his followers. He bares his title of the Maimed God for his missing right hand; lost in an act of bravery and self-sacrifice, and his title of the Even-Handed refers to his position as the god of justice (though is also seen as a bit of dark humor.) The wounded eyes of the Blind Overlord meanwhile is seen as symbolic of "blind justice" and the cost that sometimes comes with living a lawful life. His symbol however, balanced scales upon a warhammer, truly symbolizes his nature; justice upheld with armed vigilance and benevolent might.
An interloper deity, Tyr, known as the One-Handed across the Outer Planes, is the same power as the god of the same name in the Norse pantheon, although in the Realms he is worshiped only as a god of justice and not as a god of war. As the only Norse power worshiped in Faerûn, if a cleric of the Norse pantheon comes to Toril from another world, he or she would be granted spells through Tyr.
