Another Rune Word scroll of mine. This time its the word 'Tyr', name of the norse war god. Tyr does not often make appearance during the lore because he is a jounger member of the nordic pantheon. He was first a local god in scandinavia, but as the Odin-Cult spread over north europe, he was assimilated, giving most of his former functions to Odin.
He appears mostly as one-handed god, holding a sword. His duties are the preservation the law and the protection of the thing.
He lost his hand to bind the second-most dangerous creature of Midgard, the Wolf Fenrir. The gods often tried to forge chains and to make ropes wich are able to bind him, but he broke and ripped all of them. His strength and savageness grew further every day, endangering even the mightiest of the Aesir. But two dwarfes found a solution: they forged a rope, Gleipnir, wich would hold everything. It was created out of the sound of a cat's footfall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish and the spittle of a bird. But as the Aesir brought Gleipnir, Fenrir was suspicious of the rope, because it looked like a little silken ribbon. He only agreed to let him bind if one of the gods holds his hand in his mouth as a pledge. Tyr agreed and as Fenrir tried to break free from Gleipnir, it just got tighter and tighter. In fury, he bite of Tyrs hand, but he had to remain bound.

This scroll is intended as a better scroll of roar.
