Forseti (also spelled Forsete), in Norse mythology, the god of justice and
conciliation. He was the son of the doomed but beloved god Balder and his
wife, Nanna. Forseti's home in Asgard (heaven) was a great hall called Glitnir,
which was held up by golden pillars and had a roof of silver. There Forseti
heard cases and settled all legal disputes, no matter how difficult, to
everyone's satisfaction.
