Why is Tyr blind?

In mythology, especially the popular Forgotten Realms (D&D) setting, Tyr is blind because the Overgod Ao blinded him during the Time of Troubles as punishment for questioning Ao's justice after the Tablets of Fate were stolen; this symbolizes the concept of "blind justice" in fantasy lore, while in the Norse myths that inspired him, he famously lost his hand but not his sight. In the game God of War, a different, imprisoned Tyr is eventually freed, but his "blindness" there refers to his imprisonment by Odin, not literal sight loss.
