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.
