Tiwar/Tiwaz is the rune of Tyr. It represents justice and law. Oaths and vows show up frequently in Norse myths and sagas. They were binding and unbreakable.In the story of Loki’s children, Tyr presented Loki’s son, the great wolf Fenrir, to the Odin and the Aesir to be bound by increasingly strong chains. To persuade the Fenris Wolf to agree to the final magically forged fetters, Tyr agreed to place his fist in the wolf’s maw. If the Aesir were tricking the wolf with the seemingly delicate binding, he could bite off Tyr’s hand.When the wolf couldn’t break the spelled chains, Tyr paid the price without complaint, upholding his oath. -- source link
