Wikipedia claims:
The prefix 'fimbul' means "the great/big" so the correct interpretation of the word is "the great winter".

The name Tyr meant "god" (cf. Hangatyr, the "god of the hanged" as one of Odin's names; probably inherited from Tyr in his role as judge) and goes back to a Proto-Germanic Tîwaz, earlier Teiwaz, continuing Proto-Indo-European *deywos "god" (whence Latin: deus, Sanskrit: deva and Lithuanian: dievas).
From articles about Fimbulwinter (Illwinter, three winters without summer in-between that mark the beginning of Ragnarök) and Týr (the one-handed god of single combat).

To Tifone:
Thank you for your comment. I was also of mixed opinion considering crown. Maybe modified fur would be better - though this will require higher drawing skills... By the way, it's not black bear, it's brown one - of the same species as American grizzly (but I'm not planning on including all 7 species of modern bears! ). And yes, Great Bulls were among what have given me this idea.

I think I've had a nice idea for a pretender to mod into the game. From the 1973 cult movie, the Wicker Man.
It is an enormous wooden idol which resembles a human form. It is a simbol of fertility, and the pagan country community of the island of the movie imprisons inside the idol's body human innocent victims to be sacrificed, as they are burned alive with the idol itself, to provide the community a good harvest for the year.
It seems it would fit well in the mood of many pagan nations as EA Marverni and others.

It should be size 7, inanimate, immobile and needing not eat and blind, immune to shock, poison and fire (as the one I want in the game is ever-burning) but 50% more susceptible to cold (as it weakens its flames), have an heat aura and a fireshield 10, have standard 10, spring power (value?), a supply bonus and fortune teller 10%, but increases the unrest for 5 points per month in its province (all for thematic reasons), no slots, around 120 hp, 0 defence but high on protection and MR, and no attacks. N2F1B1 mage with difficult access to other paths (50 points).

The main problems are that 1) I've never created a mod and 2) I'm not that exceptionally good in making gifs, and this one is difficult

Suggestions? Ideas? Opinions?
