The Legend of The Avatar Of War
"Once in a small nordic village, in the most cold part of the nordic forests, one village trive as best as possible, the tribe was loyal to Tyr, The Norse God Of War.
They were so Loyal, that every single day, they would perfect the art of war and battle, while they trained their minds to be as righteous and honorable as possible.
Until one day, the elders of that village had the privilege of Tyr himself coming down and speaking to them, he was telling them about a war that would require the best warrior possible and asked this tribe to prepare this warrior.
And so it was done, Tylian was born and raised to fulfill the wishes of the god of war, after years of serving the god and being the body for the deity Tyr.
Tylian and Tyr became one, their minds and bodies were almost one now, the difference between Tylian and Tyr was almost nil"
