Týr is revered as the divine patron of combat, valor, and justice. He is often referred to as the “one-armed god” due to the loss of his hand during a daring attempt to subdue the wolf Fenrir.

Anticipating the threat posed by Fenrir, the gods enlisted the dwarves to forge a net, both delicate and incredibly strong. In a ruse to ensnare Fenrir, the gods proposed that he allow himself to be bound by the net, but the wolf consented only on the condition that a deity place a hand in his mouth as a sign of trust. Upon realizing he had been tricked, Fenrir retaliated by biting off Týr ’s hand, who had bravely volunteered for the perilous task.

In the lore of Germanic mythology, it is foretold that during Ragnarok, the end of the world, Týr will confront Garm, the ferocious guardian of the underworld realm of Hel. This epic battle is destined to end with both combatants perishing.
