Do you want something? ASK TYR FOR HOW
One of Tyr's most noted abilities is the granting of wishes. Her ability to provide immediate, tangible boons is part of why her faith was so durable in the Dragon Dimension. To her followers, she is the Goddess of Plenty, willing to give you whatever you could desire so long as you what she asks.
The il'Bleu often claim that the wishes will backfire, or give some horrible result. This is Light God drivel. Over thousands of years, Tyr and priestesses have granted billions of wishes; her reputation would be ruined in short order if she didn't deliver the goods--as long as you give her what she wants in return. Tyr is fickle, and what she wants in return could range from the blood of a thousand virgins to a smile and a kiss.
She is also quite capable of influencing and magnifying the desires of mortals. And knows pretty much exactly what a mortal really, deep down, wants, and can offer it. But the fact is, when told they can have anything, your average mortal will get into some pretty awful shit in pretty short order.
Tyr can often make sure the wishes play out as some part of grand design. The design of an insane goddess is almost never understandable to mortals.
Priesthood and Minions
Tyr's priesthood are known as the Tyranids; they are almost all beautiful women, and have an uncanny empathetic ability to discern what someone wants. They are also capable of magnifying people's desires. With Acid for blood, Tyranids were all but immune to edged weapons, though it was a rare mortal who could bring himself to strike one. Tyranids had some portion of Tyr's wish-granting power; with so many souls to corrupt, Tyr has to delegate.
The highest Tyranids became Gorgons. The Gorgons could shapechange between their usual form and a woman with a serpentine lower half and snakes for hair; in this form they had the power to turn people into stone. In the time of k'Tyr's prominence, there was usually one Gorgon per major city. None are believed to have survived the Great War.
Tyranids could create Warriors of Discord, huge bersekers with spiky bodies gone insane with rage. In wars these berserkers were used as living battering rams, felling thousands of enemy troops as they were immune to pain.
Tyr's own chosen minions, however, were chimera. These were flying serpents with heads of other creatures (up to six). These were her personal messengers, hounds, or guardian beasts.
The Great War
Tyr's mortal has been killed a couple of times, but someone always wants her back. Most recently she was resurrected with the power of Sai Krolis during the Great War. This sort of indebted her to Thanatos. She often begrudged the primacy of the other Dark Gods, preferring her own pursuits and plans.
Kupopolis Legends
Tyr is worshipped by the Titans of the World of Titans as the source of their power. All in all, she's doing really well in Legends.
