Maiden of pain and other nice items out of sagas

[vulpex]

Of our gods some bear still heritage of old DnD, when our sagas were intertwined in the hobby. In case this thing is forgotten, i offer some insight for finnish pantheon and DnD gods.

Mielikki.
Goddess of hunt and forests, daughter/wife of lord of he forest Tapio.
She is said to ward over wayward wanderers, cattle and lost. Her name means beloved one.

Loviatar.
Daughter of Tuoni, lord of Underworld. Lady of the Wound, healing, pain, disease and ultimately recovery. Literally Loviatar means, she-who-is-of-trance.

There is also a subdeity, concept or name for Kipusisko, that is literally Sister of Pain. In time of old healers were mentioned to curse in her name to free the pain away.

In finnish pagan belief, if you know the root, or origin of a thing, and can make a poem of it, you are the ruler over that thing. In this, to know the root of pain, how it is born, in mythological way, made you an healer.
If you could knew the root of iron, you were a smith.

Lastly, Kipusisko, or Maiden of Pain was one who with her scarf caressed the old people onwards to somewhere else.

Could we hear other cases with DnD lore crossing our reality?

Tyr is a Norse Deity with one hand. I know he lost his hand because he put it in Fenrir/Fenris's mouth to convince Fenris to allow himself to be bound with magical chains made by dwarves/gnomes. When Fenris found out it was a trap, he bit off Tyr's hand.

In the Norse mythology Tyr isn't an LG god of justice, and is more of a war deity.

In the Faerunian cosmology, replace Fenris with Kezef the Chaos Hound and the story is roughly the same.

Tyr is an interloper deity in the Faerunian pantheon, so he very well may be the same deity from Norse mythology.

Oghma is also an interloper deity, but I think he's from Celtic mythology.

Also, Tyche, the goddess who was split into Tymora and Beshaba during the Dawn Cataclysm in the Faerunian continuity, is from Greek Mythology. Tyche was the goddess of fortunes, equivalent to Fortuna in Roman mythology.
