When Tyr is depicted in religious art, he appears as a noble warrior missing
his right hand, lost to Kezef the Chaos Hound in proving his resilience and
strength of spirit. In recent years, he has been shown blinded as well, a
fatality of the wrath of Ao during the Time of Troubles. Tyr's symbol shows
his nature: justice through benevolent force and armed vigilance. He opposes
all beings who deal in trickery, rule-breaking, and unjust destruction or
misdeeds. He represents such stern justice that it is difficult to see the
deities are sometimes called the Triad.
Torm and Ilmater serve Tyr and the three together are called the Triad.

Tyr sponsors two holy orders of paladins: Knights of Holy Judgment and the
Knights of the Merciful Sword.
