Forseti

In Norse mythology, Forseti is the god of justice. He is the son of the god Balder and his mother is Nanna. Forseti rules in the beautiful palace Glitnir, which serves as a court of justice and where all legal disputes are settled. Glitnir has a roof of silver that is supported by pillars of red gold.

Forseti can be compared with the Teutonic god Fosite, who was worshipped on Helgoland.

    As of lately, I have been educating myself on Norse Mythos, its rather different but very interesting. Is there more information over Forseti’s court itself? Did he had beings that assisted him, such going and getting a witness for a trial, or going out and effecting a punishment; sort of like Odin’s Valyries.
