Editing Tyr (section)

==Trivia==
Like several other D&D deities, Tyr is borrowed from real-world mythology; specifically Norse. Though in Tyr's case his origins are practically unchanged from the source material, unlike [[Oghma]] or [[Silvanus]] who have been significantly altered in some way after the transition. 

The primary difference is that Norse Tyr might have actually been the head of his pantheon ''(even over Odin)'' at some point; note that the Norse word ''tyr'' translates simply as "god" (this element sometimes appears in the various bynames of other deities, for example, Gautatyr, which is one of Odin's names). Similarly his mythological father may have been '''Odin''', or alternatively it could have been the giant '''Hymir'''. Norse history can be somewhat hazy like this.
