Description
Pillars of gold and a roof of silver mark Forseti's hall in Asgard, where all who bring their quarrels depart reconciled — the one place in the Norse cosmos where disputes end not in blood but in peace.
Mythology & Lore
The Shining Hall
Odin, speaking as Grímnir in Grímnismál 15, names Glitnir among the halls of Asgard: pillars of gold, a roof of silver, and Forseti sitting within, stilling all quarrels. Everyone who brings a dispute to Glitnir leaves reconciled.
No myth is set inside its walls. The stanza gives the hall's materials, its master, and its purpose. That is all the sources record.
