Glory be to you almighty Lord of Justice.
In you, Lord, I put my trust;
May I never be put to shame.
In your justice, set me free,
Turn your ear to me; make haste to rescue me.
Be my rampart, my fortification; keep me safe.
For you are my strength and my refuge,
I know you will help me.
Into your hands, I commend my spirit:
You have redeemed me, Lord God of Justice.
HISTORY
From 1340 to 1385 DR, Lord Mattus Althorin ruled a
small fiefdom in the Border Kingdoms near the Lake
of Steam. Lord Althorin ran his council and
maintained peace in his lands with the assistance of
the Knights of the Holy Judgement, an order of
paladins who emphasize the "lawful" part of their
dedication to Tyr.
To dispense Tyr’s most brutal judgements, Lord
Althorin commissioned the creation of a magical
greatsword, which he dubbed “Tyr’s Justice”. During
his rule, several different paladins belonging to the
Order of the Knights of Holy Judgement claimed the
headman’s sword as their own. When the
Spellplague ravaged Toril in the Year of Blue Fire,
the Border Kingdoms devolved into a lawless
frontier of outlaws and would-be rulers, and the
sword was lost for nearly a century. It later
resurfaced in the Moonsea region.
Other than the balanced scales of Try’s holy
symbol etched into its blade, the sword is
intentionally simple in appearance, mirroring Lord
Althorin’s predominant belief: “Justice is not
pretentious or vain. It is simple and true, and the
right of every man, woman, and child, no matter how
rich, poor, educated, or ignorant they may be.”
