Foresti, the son of Balder, is the balance of justice, the settler of disputes, the righteous judge.  He is often called upon to arbitrate quarrel between the gods.


Dogma

The strongest tenet for those who revere Forseti's teachings is not to make a judgment until all the facts than can be known are. Their opinions should not be tainted by selfish aspiration or by intimacy with one of the disputing parties. A judgment should be made only on the known evidence, not based on non-related activities or past history. Revenge is taught as an acceptable form of justice, only if the party is found to be guilty. Forseti is one of the few deities that dislikes sacrifices to him, as he sees it as a form of bribery.


Clergy

Forseti's clerics tend to be very straightforward when they speak. They do not mince words nor do they make subtle allusion or use tricky word play. They serve their congregations as judges, advocates and in other legal positions. They wear long, ivory colored cassocks; not pure white, as to remind the public that they themselves are not perfect nor above the law.   Many of Forseti's monastic followers are ex-criminals who have seen the error of their ways and have come to Forseti to purify themselves of their injustice and to focus on becoming a being in tune with impartiality.
