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.”
