===Forgotten Realms=== Tyr came to Toril as an interloper deity during a period known as the '''Procession of Justice''', where he burst into the realms without warning at the head of an army of 200 [[Archon]]s and attempted to pacify the region of Jhaamdath which had fallen to lawlessness. This campaign brought [[Ilmater]] on board, who had previously been somewhat of an unknown deity and catapulted him into popularity; and later [[Torm]] would join as Tyr's warleader. Tyr had only planned to stick around in the Realms long enough to finish his campaign of bringing law and order and intended to return home afterwards, but by the time he was finished most of his army was dead and his cult had started to spread across the continent; so the '''Triad''' was born. The reason he is referred to as the Maimed God is because he has lost his hand and has been struck blind. Similarly to the Asgardian telling, he lost his hand to a hound, in this case '''Khezef the Chaos Hound''' and follows roughly the same story where [[Gond]] created an unbreakable leash and bet the hound that he could not break out of it. Khezef agreed to the bet on condition that Tyr ''(the least duplicitous of the gods)'' placed his hand in the beast's mouth; Gond then anchored the chain to [[Pandemonium]] and [[Mystra]] laid a magical veil over the beast that automatically repaired itself; when Khezef finally understood what the gods were doing to him he bit Tyr's hand off in anger. He was later struck blind during the [[Time of Troubles]] after talking back to [[Ao]] about the injustice of punishing all of the gods for the actions of [[Bane|an unknown perpetrator]]. Tyr started going off the rails not long after that and killed [[Helm]] when he started getting suspicious that the god of vigilance was attempting to steal the heart of [[Tymora]], who Tyr was attempting to woo. Quite possibly because of this, he lost his faith in his ability to lead properly and abdicated his godhood to [[Torm]], allowed much of his portfolio to be absorbed by [[Bahamut]] and then quietly retired back to the [[Upper Planes]] where he was later killed in a demonic invasion ''(probably returning home to die at Ragnarok)''. Then he came back for the Fifth Edition retcons, taking most of his power and portfolio back from Bahamut.
