Chapter 32

Forseti

‘Forseti is the son of Baldr and Nanna Nep’s daughter. His is the hall in heaven called Glitnir. All who come to him with legal difficulties leave reconciled. That hall is the best place of judgment known to gods and men. As it says here:

A hall named Glitnir, supported by gold pillars and roofed with silver. There Forseti spends most days and settles all lawsuits.

(The Lay of Grimnir. 15)
