Golden Garden
Skyfall RPG is one of Brazil’s most prominent contemporary fantasy roleplaying games, published by CapyCat Games. Set in the world of Opath, the game combines epic fantasy with a strong emphasis on character-driven storytelling, expansive worldbuilding, and a diverse range of cultures and magical traditions.
Featured in the supplement Schools of Magic, Golden Garden (Jardim Áureo) is the magical institution located in Sodori. The map was designed not only to depict the physical layout of the academy, but also to communicate its cultural identity and underlying philosophy. Its art direction draws heavily from Japanese ukiyo-e prints, incorporating visual elements inspired by ornamental gardens, traditional architecture, and, above all, the sacred Dwelling of Khulan. The goal was to create a map that functions simultaneously as a navigational tool and as an extension of the setting’s visual and narrative identity.
