Forseti — God

Forseti

God

The Æsir

God of justice and reconciliation — the finest judge among gods and men.

Forseti (Old Norse: Forseti) is the son of Baldur and Nanna. He is considered the best judge among gods and men — all who bring disputes before him leave reconciled. Forseti dwells in the magnificent hall Glitnir, whose roof is of gold and walls of silver. He is mentioned in Grímnismál, and while the sources say little more about him, his role as the embodiment of righteous judgment is unambiguous.
