Tyr
Tyr, the Maimed God, Bahamut in Draconic, is the god of courage, justice, and heroism in the warm-blooded pantheon and the god of might and inner fire in the Draconic pantheon. He is often worshipped by knights and paladins.
Creation
Tyr's role in creation was to give mortals the virtuous traits of courage and honour.Warm-blooded Pantheon
In the warm-blooded pantheon, Tyr is usually depicted as a muscular man, often in armour, with his right hand missing. He is often shown to be holding various weapons and sometimes mounted on a majestic steed. Tyr lost his right hand in the battle with the interloper gods. When the interloper gods interfered with creation, mortals were granted traits such as selfishness and free will. Tyr and Chronos argued about what to do. While Chronos wanted to eliminate free will, Tyr felt that mortals should be allowed to keep free will and to decide for themselves which of their traits they would embrace. Tyr's final gift to mortals was a sense of justice. With free will, mortals could decide whether to be virtuous or to be selfish. Tyr gave mortals justice to help them make this decision.Draconic Pantheon
In the Draconic pantheon, Bahamut is depicted as a mighty platinum dragon who is missing his front right limb. When his wings are spread, they appear as a rainbow showing various elemental forces such as fire, lightning, and cold, depicting the various inner fires of dragonkind. Bahamut is the chief god of the Draconic pantheon. He is thought to be the strongest of all the gods. He granted dragons their power and majesty, and he also granted them their inner fire. Inner fire refers to one's martial spirit as well as their breath weapon and can refer to all elemental breath types, not just fire. During creation, Bahamut was deceived by Adapa, leading to the dragons losing their immortality. Bahamut led the fight against the interloper gods and punished Adapa by killing him. However, during the fight, Bahamut's front right limb was severed.
