  Muir is the sister of Thyr and often called "The Muse". While he represents law and peace, she represents the martial valor necessary to make that peace a reality. As such, she is the goddess of paladins. She is often depicted as a dark-dressed maiden warrior in shining mail with an upraised (often bloodstained) spear or lance. She is noble and single-minded of purpose. The tenets of her worship include honor, truth, and courage. A great order of paladins known as the Justicars are sworn to her service.
  Muir expects self-sacrifice, humility, and charity as well as unswerving loyalty. Her standards are extreme and she quickly turns her back on any who fail to live up to them. Those who maintain her standards, however, may become Justicars, an order of paladins imbued with even greater holiness. Her symbol is a blood-red upright spearhead on a white background, symbolizing her endless fight against evil. The falcon is her sacred animal. She is the tireless foe of all evil creatures and undead, demons, and devils in particular are her sworn enemy.
  The true story of Muir and Thyr's divine ascensions are known only to the gods themselves, and perhaps their closest angelic servants. Interpretations on their ascensions vary from culture to culture; some followers of the twin gods believe that they have existed as divine powers for as long as the concepts of justice and valor have existed, while others believe they were angels that earned their ascensions through great wars against the forces of evil.
  Another tale depicts Muir and Thyr as mortal twins of the lost royal house Iomedae, who rallied a great host of righteous soldiers in times of antiquity to take back a fallen kingdom from an evil wizard-king known only as the Whispering Tyrant. The two then rose to become gods after sacrificing their lives in a great and climactic battle against their hated foe, freeing the lives of millions from the Tyrant's unjust and heinous rule. This interpretation is particularly popular in the crusader kingdom of Mendev, where Muir is sometimes called by the title of 'The Inheritor', and Thyr by the title of 'The Adjudicator'. The crusaders take comfort in believing that their guardian deities under what it means to shed mortal blood in the pursuit of eradicating evil.
