About

Forseti is the god of justice, peace, and truth in Norse mythology. Son of Baldur and Nanna, he presides over disputes in his shining hall Glitnir, where gold pillars support a silver roof.

All who come to his hall with disputes leave reconciled—no case is too difficult for his wisdom. He represents the ideal of law as a means of creating peace rather than punishment, focusing on reconciliation rather than retribution.

Forseti embodies the belief that truth and fairness can resolve even the bitterest conflicts, and that justice serves the community by restoring harmony.

Famous Story

When the Frisians could not agree on their laws, Forseti appeared in their ship and taught them a code of justice. He struck a spring from the ground with his axe, and from then on they gathered at that spot to settle all disputes by his principles.

Your features carry the balanced wisdom of Forseti. There is a natural fairness to your appearance—the look of one who can see all sides of a dispute and find the path to peace.
