Description

* Also called Tyz or Tiw. Brother of Odin, God of War, Prince of the Temples, God of the Hanged, Leavings of the Wolf, High Judge and Lust of Battle. According to the Edda, at one stage the gods decided to shackle the wolf Fenrisulfr (Fenrir), but the beast broke every chain they put upon him. Eventually they had the dwarves make them a magical ribbon called Gleipnir from the noise a cat makes when it moves, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, the spittle of a bird, the beard of a woman and the roots of a mountain. The gods took those items from the world and for that reason they do not exist today. Fenrir sensed the gods deceit and refused to be bound with it unless one of them put his hand in the wolf's mouth. Trust against trust ! Tyr, known for his great honesty and courage, agreed, and the other gods bound the wolf. After Fenrir had been bound by the gods, he struggled to try and break the rope. When the gods saw that Fenrir was bound they all laughed, except Tyr, who had his right hand bitten off by the wolf. Fenrir will remain bound until the day of Ragnarok. As a result of this deed, Tyr is called the "Leavings of the Wolf" and he was leading his mighty sword with his left hand. Room for his shadow on the grass - let it pass! To left and right - stand clear! This is the Buyer of the Blade - be afraid! This is the great God Tyr! Our Tuesday is in fact Tyrsday ! ** Thank you, thank you, thank you, I can`t say it enough...your comments, ratings and Fav`s are of highest meaning for me and very appreciated ! *** Used in the making : 3 x M3, Scout Tower (from DAZ), Armor from Xurge !

Beautiful rendition of Tyr! It's nice that you included in this series the mythos behind each patron. A very nice touch. Beautiful work and I look forward to your next subject in this delightful pantheon of Gods.
