Other Notes

Like the followers of Tempus, the ceremonial costume of Tyr is the same in the field as in the temple--a full suit of battle armor with an ornate helm. But while the church of Tempus prefers its ceremonial armor dented, battle-scarred, and bloodied, the church of Tyr keeps its armor in well-polished shape.

Rank within the church hierarchy is shown by the color tints of the armor--rich, church-approved shaded inks rubbed into the metal itself. The lowest rank has a bloodstained red similar to that of Tempurans, then rising (according to the local customs) to sunrise orange, harvest yellow, dragon green, and a sky blue for the patriarchs of the faith. The greatest heroes of Tyr are entitled to have a dusky purple polish rubbed onto their armor.

Specialty priests of Tyr are called Lawgivers. It is the duty of a Lawgiver (or cleric of Tyr) to preside as judge at any trial when asked to do so by the parties involved. In rural areas, travelling Lawgivers may be the entire justice system for the local authorities.

All priests and clerics of Tyr must always keep their word. If a cleric or priest breaks an oath, he must immediately report to the nearest temple and confess his actions to the high priest. The high priest will then choose a punishment, usually involving meditation and sacrifice, but sometimes for great misdeeds a quest, which the priest must perform. Until the penance is completed, the cleric or priest will not be able to use any granted abilties or any spells greater than third level.
