    "Tyr Grimjaws, Tyr the Evenhanded, Wounded Tyr, the Maimed God, the Lord of Justice—all these names speak to the nature of the god of justice.",
    "Tyr appears as a noble warrior without his right hand, which he lost to Kezef the Chaos Hound in an act of bravery and sacrifice. His eyes are wrapped in cloth, his blindness signifying that justice applies evenly to all. Weary of the foolishness of mortals, Tyr seldom appears or speaks directly to mortals, instead sending an awakened {@creature Mastiff|XMM} as an emissary or sending the sound of a war gong or a choir.",
    "Tyr's followers devote themselves to achieving justice, righting wrongs, and delivering vengeance. This devotion isn't concerned with equality or fairness, but rather discovering the truth and punishing the guilty. Those who favor Tyr are stiff necked about theology and laws, evaluating actions according to a rigid moral code.",
    "Tyr's credo of lawfulness and honesty is demanding, and his priests remind the faithful not to judge too harshly those who fail to live up to Tyr's standards. If Tyr's commands were easily followed, they wouldn't be worth obeying.",
    "Many orders of knighthood devote their lives to Tyr, including the Knights of Holy Judgment and the Knights of the Merciful Sword. Such knights—as well as judges, priests, and others who worship Tyr—wear thin strips of diaphanous cloth over their eyes as a symbol of their faith.",
    "Tyr's Chosen have suffered in their commitment to pursuing justice, but Tyr's power strengthens them, helping them remain true to Tyr's strict code."

        "Tyr Grimjaws, Tyr the Evenhanded, Wounded Tyr, the Maimed God, the Blind, Blind Tyr, the Lord of Justice - all of these names speak to the nature of the Faerûnian god of justice. Tyr appears as a noble warrior missing his right hand, which he lost to Kezef the Chaos Hound in an act of bravery and sacrifice, and with his eyes wrapped in cloth to signify his blindness, caused by a wound dealt to him by Ao when he questioned the justice of the Overgod's actions.",
        "Tyr's followers devote themselves to the cause of justice, to the righting of wrongs and the deliverance of vengeance. This devotion isn't necessarily concerned with equality or fairness, but rather the discovery of truth and the punishment of the guilty. Those who favor Tyr tend to be stiff-necked about matters of theology and laws, seeing things in terms of black and white. Tyr's credo of lawfulness and honesty is a demanding one, and his priests remind the faithful not to hold in contempt others who can't live by it - it wouldn't be an honorable calling if everyone could muster the strength of will to follow it.",
        "Many orders of knighthood are devoted to Tyr, including the Knights of Holy Judgment and the Knights of the Merciful Sword. Such knights-as well as judges and priests, clerics, and paladins who worship Tyr - sometimes wear thin strips of diaphanous cloth over their eyes to remind others of the blindness of justice."
