Tycho Nastoris

Tycho Nastoris is a well-acclaimed Magnian scholar, best known for his Map of the Known World, as well as his detailed maps of Magnia from 1414 and 1431, the latter of which has become the most popular map of the continent due to its accuracy. 
In 1393, at the age of 17, Tycho was admitted to the Academy of Alvernia, but he was expelled 2 years later for participating in student riots against King Florence II, when he continued to rule after the death of Queen Hedwig of Vichin. Tycho then travelled to Serkonos to finish his education where he rubbed shoulders with students from all over the world, dramatically changing his view on life, as well as his academic interests. When he graduated in 1399, Tycho began travelling the world. He visited the Tytos and went as far as Gezza, where he became one of the only scholars ever to return to Magnia with detailed accounts of the hostile region. In 1405, he became a teacher of Natural Philosophy at the Academy of Pyor and after a brief 2-year-trip to draw his first map of Magnia between 1412-1414, he was made head of the Department of Natural Philosophy.
As a scholar, Tycho has been known to hold ideas of the natural world that his colleagues would consider outlandish or even ridiculous and he was an avid opponent of the Tytos, sceptical of the Chapter of Wizards' influence over Magnian courts. Some claim Tycho is obsessed with the mysteries of the occult, that he keeps the company of strange people, can speak languages no one has heard, and that he makes sacrifices to queer gods in the night. In March of 1431, Tycho's Badge of Honorary Insight was stripped from him when he defended his colleague Amelia Bones' claims that there were whales in Turokh's Eye.
In April 1431, Amelia Bones vanished. Only a week later, both Tycho and the Academy's professor of Trouvership and Fine Arts, Marco Mortallis, disappeared without a word, both on the same night. Unlike Amelia, the two professors brought a handful of their personal belongings. Neither has been seen since.
