BALDER.
HE people in the North once believed that high above the clouds was the beautiful plain of Asgard.
Odin, ruler of Asgard, mighty Thor, and many other heroes lived on the plain.
Their homes were great castles, splendid with silver and gold.
In the middle of the plain, and apart from the other dwellings, stood a pure white palace.
Nothing that was not fair and good had ever dared to enter it.
It was the home of Balder.
Because of his great beauty and wisdom, he was called “Balder the beautiful,” and “Balder the good.”
