- | The Even-Handed aids His questors in many ways. The first is through a | + | |
- | strengthening of the body, which lasts so long as the questor remains pious. | + | |
- | The god of justice also grants His faithful with increased knowledge of | + | |
- | sword play and literacy, believing that battles of sword and pen are equally as | + | |
- | important to the struggle of law. Tyr also provides protection to the questor | + | |
- | through His golden amulets. To help the questors coordinate their efforts, | + | |
- | the god of justice has gifted them with the power of communication over vast | + | |
- | distances. Finally, He grants the questors with two unique powers which are | + | |
- | invoked in His name. | + | |

- | The life of a questor is very demanding and there are drawbacks to wielding | + | |
- | the powers of Tyr. Tyr demands your faith, as such, you cannot worship | + | |
- | any diety of chaos as a questor. Your nature must remain ordered or | + | |
- | you will find yourself at the hands of Tyr's justice. Calling upon the | + | |
- | wrath of Tyr is difficult, and impossible to do constantly. Tyr will not | + | |
- | give his aid against a proponent of honor or righteousness, and does not | + | |
- | condone attacks against such. For Tyr, the only way to lift the veil of | + | |
- | darkness from this world is to strive for justice. That is his way, that | + | |
- | is your way. For Tyr to grant any of his favors, you must display your faith | + | |
- | in him at all times by wearing his amulet. | + | |

"There is something noble in the spirit of a man who will fight for order."
-Father Jonathan the Grand Justicar of Tyr
The questors of Tyr are a militant sect who venerate Tyr the Even-Handed, god of justice and law. They range across the realms of the Prime Plane and beyond, fighting to bring order to mortal existence. They do not stand alone.
Tyr himself aids His questors in battle against the minions of chaos. Tyr's aid does not come without price, however -- questors of Tyr are forbidden from violating Tyr's code, which prohibits the worship of any diety of chaos. Additionally, A questor's nature must remain ordered, or Tyr will withhold His aid. Lastly, for Tyr to grant any of his favors, a questor must display their faith in Him at all times by wearing His amulet.
