Osmund

Osmund was a Yutemond courtier at the Korlat court during the early century, he served Duchess Aurora Korlat as her financial advisor, who reigned from 696 BE to 725 BE.
According to popular sources, he was the brother of Oswyck who served as a long-time priest at the Korlat castle. He was later appointed by Aurora as financial advisor; this decision was most likely influenced by Oswyck who manifested huge influence over both Aurora and her brother-husband, Galerius.
== History ==
=== Origins ===
Osmund was the brother of Oswyck, a majority of sources support this claim despite no exact birth indications. Osmund was likely a cupbearer or a lowborn servant; while Oswyck was at some point in the same role, he advanced in a religious career eventually earning himself a place at the Korlat Council and eventually being named the Archpriest of Yutemond, under the influence of Aurora Korlat who became popular under the people.
Osmund is not mentioned until Aurora's later reign where her reformations begin.
===== The Reformations =====
In 701 AC, Aurora, together with Priest Oswyck, and Osmund, began to aid Aurora with codifying, organizing, and reforming all Korlat's laws. The project would take decades. That same year, Aurora traveled to Korlat Castle where she gave birth to her first child, Livia Korlat. She would later bare another daughter named Anastasia; much to the disapproval of her husband who hoped she'd bare a son to keep him company.
The next year, Aurora supported Oswyck's plan of constructing wells, pipes, tunnels, and cisterns to provide the Yutemond people with fresh, clean water. Oswyck pointed out to Aurora that the defouled river water was the only source of water for the smallfolk, suggesting his plans would provide the smallfolk with clean drinking water instead. When the duchess and her financial advisor, Osmund, balked at the costs, Aurora served them a tankard of river water and challenged them to drink it. Instead of drinking the water, the duchess and Osmund approved the construction of the fountains, which would become known as "the Auroran' fountains."
==== Advancement in ablolishing the right of the husband ====
During Aurora's time in Pithia, she had heard tales from women during her women's courts concerning the right of the husband, and the horrifying experience it was for the women who suffered through it (this practice included the right of the husband to pick at least three men to bed his bride before he does). During the council session hosted at the behest of Duchess Aurora, with the help of Osmund, she convinced the lords of Pithia and their counselors, to abolish this practice and outlaw it throughout Pithia.
== Death ==
Osmund most likely died shortly after his brother, Oswyck. This claim is supported by the fact that during her retirement as lady mother, Aurora notes how she misses her dearest friends and colleagues; Oswyck and Osmund.
