Followers (of one of the gods who rebelled) came to his town and destroyed it, killing everyone. He prayed to Tyr for vengeance and Tyr granted it giving him a mission to fulfill and not allowing him to die until it was done. Tyr however was one of the first to fall in the god war. Unable to die, he continued to walk the earth helping out where he could. He became a legend and people eventually started praying to him, giving him power with restrictions. Now he is bound: to always wander, to help those in need he comes across, and to maintain the balance between nature and industrialization.
