Aego Gastrinimer (c. 2690-2747 HM) was a merchantman, privateer and prestigious Cartographer Royal to the Court of Sanal.

He produced the first great world map of the modern era, based on his supposed circumnavigation of the continent of Anasthias. After much acclaim, in 2720 HM he presented a huge, elaborately painted map to King Gvedoleth of Sanal, which guaranteed him wealth and eternal fame.

The elaborate golden royal map was one of many treasures destroyed during the recent Hartheran conquest of Besoa.

Critiques

Recent historians speculate that his supposed circumnavigation was an utter fraud.

The map of Anasthias is correct in areas known to seamen in the north and east of the continent, but the further south and west the map goes, the more exaggerated and even spurious are it's descriptions, down to the "Silver Cities" and the Orthe Rirba, or Dragon Isles, placed far to the southwest - the very opposite end of the world to his home. The "Dragon Isles", though figuring in many legends, are entirely fictitious, though some rocky outcroppings do exist in this area.
