Tiwaz
The sky-father's arrow: justice, courage and sacrifice for order — do the honorable thing, even at cost.
Tiwaz belongs to Tyr, the old sky-father of justice who laid his hand in the wolf Fenrir's jaws so the binding oath would hold — and paid with the hand. The rune's arrow shape points the way it teaches: straight, upward, at personal cost.
It opens the third aett as rune seventeen, setting the tone for the futhark's final row. In a daily draw Tiwaz backs the fair move over the easy one: keep the promise, take the case, spend something real for the order you claim to want.
