Tyr
"The stable organization of society is a beauty to behold,
where all work in unison to prosper and thrive.
Base your leadership on reason and logic,
and you shall have the favour of the people.
Treat them as your equals,
for you are their servant,
as well as their idol.
Words hold power,
the power to shape realms,
to break wills,
to inspire the masses.
Practice debate,
engage in conversation,
read,
learn.
That is the key to wisdom."
Tyr (also known as "The Conductor") is one of the prime deities in the Eldar pantheon. He is recognized as the god of wisdom, diplomacy, order and discipline.

Divine Symbols & Sigils
Tyr's primary symbol is that of a rectangular shield, half-gray, half-blue, with white scales at its centre. Gray represents exercising power. Blue represents stability and wisdom. The scales represent balance.
Tenets of Faith
Tyr advocates diplomacy and exercising rule with wisdom and equality at heart. He is often recognized for his sword, which is depicted as a large greatsword with two scales hanging from the crossguard, alongside the blade. It signifies that while the blade rests, the balance is kept. It is when the blade is raised that the scales are tipped, and the balance returns only when the blade is put to rest once more. Tyr's followers often consist of great diplomats and leaders who dedicate themselves to his teachings in order to govern their domain more effectively and/or to master the art of diplomacy. In the afterlife, his followers are promised access to the greatest libraries in the cosmos (with a focus on wisdom, rather than intelligence) and active debate with other accomplished thinkers.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Tyr wishes to look upon a stable world, striving for justice and cooperation. He hopes that in the afterlife, his followers can grant the Aether gods a new perspective or insight on their rivalry with the Nether gods; having so many great minds, though mortal, must grant them something of use.
