The Maimed God's Saga is a fan-written campaign for Neverwinter Nights 2, released in 2005.You play as a cleric of Tyr, the Forgotten Realms god of justice, on assignment deep into the hinterlands northeast of Waterdeep to investigate attacks by a mysterious beast. Joined in your adventure by a friendly ranger, Tancred of Calimport, you solve various problems in a Town with a Dark Secret, a secret that eventually brings you into conflict with corruption at the very heart of the Church of Tyr itself.

Then Let Me Be Evil: Malar, the god of nature's savagery, makes this argument to Tyr in a cutscene while they're discussing your fate.

Heroes Prefer Swords: The documentation encourages you to build your cleric with the War domain so you can use Tyr's trademark longsword (without needing to burn a feat on Martial Weapon Proficiency). Towards the end of the campaign, Tyr himself gives you an Infinity +1 Sword of that type.

The Lancer: Tancred is sarcastic and somewhat of a cynic, contrasting with the Good Is Not Dumb PC, and wields a bow to your sword and shield.

Three-Act Structure: You deal with the beast attacking Navatranaasu, lose your powers and get falsely accused of heresy by a corrupt priesthood, and then go on a quest to regain your powers so you can kick all their asses.

Crystal Dragon Jesus: Per the source material, the Church of Tyr is very Catholic despite the deity being one from Norse myth, complete with an Inquisition and excommunication. It even extends to the second act being very similar to the Book of Job.

comment
Hero Protagonist: While mechanically you can still pick whatever class and race combination you want, the story is very much written with a Lawful Goodinvoked cleric of Tyr in mind, and some story events may not be possible to complete without a cleric PC (though a favored soul works equally well if you have Mask of the Betrayer, which was released two years after this mod came out). And while not specifically discouraged, the documentation also recommends you use a human due to the extra feat slot.

To Be Lawful or Good
 The Maimed God's Saga (Video Game) / int_a922f8de
comment
To Be Lawful or Good: Tailored as it is for a Tyrran cleric, the campaign is written well enough to let you be both depending on the situation, which corresponds well to Tyr's dogma of using the law as a tool to uphold the good. In the third act you can get into a legal debate with the leaders of an orc tribe, and win on the law.

De-power: Despite being faithful to Tyr, you lose your cleric powers at the beginning of the second act as part of his bet with Malar. After you complete your journey to Tyr's secret shrine in act two, Tyr restores your powers and depowers the rogue clerics and paladins hunting you.

comment
Cosmic Plaything: Tyr's background, described in the opening cinematic, is based directly on Norse Mythology (in fact, he's the same god, copied into the Realms by act of Ao), but the second act of the campaign is a Whole-Plot Reference to the Book of Job. Malar, god of savagery (the Devil), bet Tyr (God) that you (Job) would forsake him if he turned his back on you, depowering you so the Tyrran priests Malar had corrupted could declare you a heretic. When you don't, instead embarking on a dangerous ritual trial to prove your faithfulness, Tyr restores your powers and then some, depowers the rogue priests and paladins, and tells Malar that if he ever shows his ugly mug around the church again, he'll kill him.

Prophecy Twist
 The Maimed God's Saga (Video Game) / int_bb5126ec
comment
Prophecy Twist: Lampshaded. In act two, Tyr gives you two tasks, the second being to "give birth to my next great champion". He quickly assures you that he doesn't mean it literally (even if you're well into a romance with Tancred by this point). Gron, the prince of the Shattered Tusk orc tribe, converts to Tyr after witnessing Tyr restore your cleric powers in his secret shrine.

comment
Knight Templar: Corrupted elements within the Church of Tyr start doing some pretty terrible things in the name of righteousness, even excommunicating you and bringing you back to their citadel in chains on trumped-up charges after you slay the monster at the end of the first act. Deconstructed in that Tyr finds their actions reprehensible and, after settling his bet with Malar, depowers the whole batch of them to help the Player Character take them out.

Torture Is Ineffective
 The Maimed God's Saga (Video Game) / int_bf3e372
comment
Torture Is Ineffective: The PC is tortured, including being branded on the forehead, to get them to falsely confess to heresy (not because the priesthood is trying to cover something up, but because they've become convinced thanks to Malar's corruption that you're actually guilty). Doesn't work.

Hiding Behind Religion: According to Tyr himself, Eton Skye clings to the church only for the power it grants him. Normally he would have washed out, but Malar's intervention shielded him.

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood
 The Maimed God's Saga (Video Game) / int_f48d0f54
comment
Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: The Shattered Tusk orc tribe is presented as this in act two, more Proud Warrior Race Guy (along the lines of the Kingdom of Many-Arrows) than Always Chaotic Evil. The tribe is Lawful Neutral invokedat worst, with its chief giving you a fair hearing when his scouts bring you to him to request passage across his lands (over the strenuous objections of The Fundamentalist priest of Gruumsh). You're even able to convert the orc prince to the worship of Tyr!

Easy Evangelism: Justified. It's well-established that, aside from The Fundamentalist shaman, the Shattered Tusk orc tribe long ago lost their collective faith in Gruumsh after losing a war and their ancestral lands in the Spine of the World. After witnessing Tyr restore your powers in his secret shrine, the chief's son Gron forswears Gruumsh in favor of Tyr.
