Â One story about a forerunner of this deity claims that he created a spring by striking the ground with an ax after guiding a lost boat to shore with twelve men in it. Â That story explains why Heligoland was sacred to this deity and sees him narrate a code of (*) laws to the Frisians. Â A son of Balder and Nanna, his hall is adorned with golden columns and a silver roof and is named Glitnir. Â It was rumored that breaking an oath to this deity would be cause for death, and he was known for his skills in mediation, with all those who came to his hall to settle disputes leaving with their issues happily resolved. Â For 10 points, name this Norse deity of justice.
