Tyr
Animals/Plants: war dogs of unusual intelligence and size.
Monsters: -
Gems/Precious Metals: -
Colors: blue, purple, white.
Miscellaneous: echoing gong stroke accompanied by a chorus of male voices, glowing warhammer.

I don't know if posting more will vulnerate the community's code of conduct.

Mad Mage is absolutely correct, though it makes one wonder why there is a warhammer on his holy symbol.

According to Faiths & Avatars, the Maimed God also has a +3 warhammer "that acts as a Mace of Disruption". By today's rules, I'd say that mean's a +3 disruption warhammer.

In addition, I heard that Shining South depicts a symbol for Tyr with a sword in place of a warhammer.

06-21-07, 11:59 PM Tyr is too cool to be limited to just one weapon. He's not lawful stupid, he knows even gods might need to overcome damage resistance (and practically nothing important has DR X/piercing so he has most of his bases covered). ;)

06-22-07, 06:13 AM Tyr probably has a hammer because he's a god of Justice. Given that judges often use those little mallets in courtrooms and such when dispensing judgement, it makes sense that Tyr, the god of such things, would have one as well. His is just all magicky.

That mallet is called a gavel, for your information. ;)

06-22-07, 03:37 PM Taken from Wikipedia-

Tyr holds great prominence in the Faerūnian pantheon due to his position as leader of the Triad, a trio of lawful good gods that are collectively devoted to the concepts of courage, justice, perseverance, relief of suffering, duty, obedience, honor, and to some extent righteous martyrdom. Not coincidentally, these values are ones held by most paladins and any given paladin in Abeir-Toril is more likely to follow the Triad than not. The two gods who serve Tyr as part of the Triad are Ilmater, deity of healing, suffering, and martyrdom; and Torm, god of paladins and personification of courage, dutiful service, and obedience.

Tyr is blind and missing his right hand, for which he bears the title "The Maimed God." Ilmater, true to his ethos, works to teach Tyr to live with these disabilities, though in truth they are not a great hindrance in view of his power as a greater god.

Tyr first came to Toril in a campaign to pacify the remnants of the fallen empire of Jhaamdath in -247 Dale Reckoning, the Year of the Striking Lance. This stroke is known as the Procession of Justice, in which the god himself appeared on Toril and personally led a host of archons and angels against the chaotic and evil forces arrayed in the remains of the fallen empire.

Ilmater aligned himself with Tyr in -243 DR (the Year of the Rack). Torm joined them to complete the Triad some years later.

Tyr lost his right hand to Kezef the Chaos Hound, and his eyes were put out by Lord Ao for questioning the Overgod's decision to punish all the deities for Bane's theft of the Tablets of Fate.

To keep Tyr's favor, one must respect fallen enemies, never make sacrifice of a corpse, and keep one's alignment lawful good. Tyr considers slaying agents of evil to be honorable and worthy of the highest praise.
