• The Story of the God Forseti Aug 5, 2025

  

  Among all the gods of Asgard, none was more revered for his fairness and wisdom in matters of law than Forseti, son of the shining god Baldr and grandson of Odin All-Father. His very name meant “presiding one” or “president,” and from the moment of his birth, it was clear that he possessed a gift for bringing peace to even the most bitter disputes.

  Forseti’s hall, Glitnir, was perhaps the most magnificent structure in all of Asgard after Gladsheim itself. Built entirely of gold and silver, with pillars that caught and reflected light from all the Nine Realms, the hall served as the supreme court of divine justice. But what made Glitnir truly special was not its material splendor—it was the roof, constructed from pure silver and supported by golden pillars, under which no falsehood could be spoken and no unjust judgment could stand.
