Nordical Mythology: The God of Truth and Justice, Fesseti

the god of truth and justice, fesseti, is the wisest, most righteous and eloquent of all gods.

as soon as he was born, he took over the cause of justice and reconciliation.

he hears and hears the gods and the worlds every day and decides the final conclusions.

he was fair and disputing, so that no one could take his word, and no one would betray his oath before him, or he would be punished with justice and selflessness.

he was a human legislator, and the nordics believed that their original law had been established by fesseti.

at a very early stage, the forresters had to put in place a law to be followed by all, especially by the selection of 12 of the smartest and most qualified elders from among the clans.

the 12 elders split up to collect a large number of customary practices from the nearby tribes and races as basic material for the development of the code.

after the initial work was completed, the 12 elders jointly managed the canoe and wanted to find a quiet place to study the information carefully.

however, as soon as they left the country, the storm came, the canoe was quickly blown to the sea, lost in its direction, and 12 elders were dazzled, exhausted and unable to control its course.

so, the 12 elders prayed to the god of fesseti for help...

and it was at this point that they suddenly found out that one of them had become 13 elders.

the stranger who came from the sky did not say anything but sit on the rudder and take the canoe to the point where the waves were raging.

strange guests have abandoned their boats and 12 elders have followed him.

and he took from behind him a war axe and cut it down on the earth, and immediately a spring was poured out of the green grass.

twelve elders saw him leaning down to the spring and did it as he did.

then 13 of them sat in a circle.

the 12 elders took a close look at the stranger and felt that he was something like each of them, but actually another.

at this time, strange guests suddenly began to speak.

his words began slowly, and then he got excited.

he is aptly and ably speaking of a code that includes all the reasonable elements and advantages of tribal and racial customs and communal pacts that 12 elders have taken a long time to gather, and is integrated within a single framework into an uncompromising whole.

among those codes, some were related to frequent disputes, such as border signs, hunting rights, wreckage of ships washed off shore, logging and collecting firewood; violations of grazing rights; defamation, sarcasm and vilification, love songs, theft of sheep, sour butter and seduction of the bees of others; and violations of the law and escalating injuries to others were punished from finger to head.

some of these are laws relating to contempt of public morals, injury to communities and piracy, including compensation, fines and death sentences, hanging, exile, etc., and are reflected in the earliest trade laws.

besides, rituals, respect for holy places, property of married women, hugeand controversial killing ranges, such as suicide, duel, combat, indoor burning, anger killings, night killings, killings in the presence of kings or in holy places, killings without public announcement, honour killings, the worst assassinations, etc.

in addition, a single person is given a value and an accurate calculation of his or her life compensation, which guarantees the personal, family, property or reputation of a person.

allows for certain variations, for example, in matters involving personal honour, where the victim considers that the legal form is not timely, he may resort to force, provided that there is a witness and a clear declaration.

when he finished, he suddenly disappeared.

the last sentence he said was, "the land with the law will flourish and the land without the law will perish!" this has become a good word for nordics。
