Character

Septon Osmynd sang, he had a thin, quavering voice when he sang.[1] To the young Catelyn Stark, Osmynd always seemed to know everything.[1]

History

Septon Osmynd instructed Catelyn Tully in the Faith of the Seven when she was a girl. He taught her that their god was a single deity with seven aspects, just as a sept is a single building with seven walls. He told Catelyn that, though seven different aspects of the Seven exist, each embodies all of the Seven.[2]

It is unknown if Septon Osmynd performed the dual weddings of Catelyn and Lysa Tully in the sept of Riverrun during Robert's Rebellion. By 299 AC, Osmynd was long dead.[1]

Quotes about Osmynd

Osmynd would have listened patiently to the tale of what she had seen and felt in Renly's pavilion, and he might have known what it meant as well, and what she must do to lay to rest the shadows that stalked her dreams.[1]
