Awards

Though must undoubtedly awarded the highest honors (posthumously) by the Kungsarme for her heroic and selfless action over Radstadt, perhaps the greatest testimony to her achievement are several lines in the Clan epic poem, The Remembrance:

Tyra of the Rasalhague led,
Forth her fiery flying Drakøns,
Gallant in bronze.  A warrior woman whose hands
Were unskilled in the ways of hearth and home,
In skills of war she was hard and trained
To leave behind the airy winds and fight
Where the void is eternal and life fleeting.
Tyra and her warriors fought
Like crazed demons above Radstadt.
When her fighter was crippled by ours,
And her life leaked away into the endless night,
She chose to die
And sent her fighter like a spear
Through the Dire Wolf, claiming as isorla
Our mighty ilKhan's life.  Sing of our loss, warriors!
Sing, but of Tyra also,
For though an enemy, her courage none can deny.
--The Remembrance, Passage 294, Verse 8, Lines 17-33
