The Lands of Opath After the Third Fall

Skyfall RPG is a Brazilian epic fantasy roleplaying game set in the world of Opath, a setting defined by cycles of cataclysmic events known as the Falls.

This map depicts the continent of Opath in the aftermath of the Third Great Fall, one of the most pivotal events in the chronology of Skyfall RPG. Developed to highlight the profound consequences of the cataclysm, the piece presents new political borders, settlements, and geographical features that emerged in the wake of the disaster.

Conceived as both a reference tool and a worldbuilding resource, the map allows players and readers to compare different stages in the evolution of the setting, illustrating how history, catastrophe, and human resilience have continually reshaped the face of Opath. Particular attention was given to communicating the scale of these transformations while preserving the continuity and identity of the world across different eras.

The Arcane University of Opath stands as one of the setting’s foremost centers of magical research and education, bringing together scholars, apprentices, and some of the greatest arcane authorities in the world of Skyfall. Designed as an in-universe welcome brochure, this map presents the university campus and its surroundings in a clear, accessible format intended to guide newly arrived students through the institution.

Part uni map, part informational handout, the piece was conceived with readability and usability as primary goals, organizing academic buildings, facilities, and surrounding areas in a way that reinforces both the everyday life and the academic identity of one of Opath’s most prestigious institutions.

The Forgotten West

The Forgotten West

This personal project was created for a West Marches-style tabletop RPG campaign, a format centered on player-driven exploration and the gradual discovery of an unknown world. Rather than presenting a fully documented setting from the outset, the map was designed to reveal its secrets over time: players begin with only fragmentary and often illegible information, which slowly gains meaning as their journeys unfold and their knowledge of the region expands.

The illustration was heavily inspired by the iconic third edition Forgotten Realms map of Faerûn, seeking to evoke the sense of wonder and open-ended exploration associated with classic fantasy campaign settings. The typography follows the same inspiration, employing the Dethek alphabet—the script traditionally used by dwarves within the Forgotten Realms setting.

As a personal exploration of cartographic storytelling, the project focuses on how a map can function not merely as a geographic reference, but as a game mechanic in itself, transforming the act of reading and deciphering the map into part of the adventure.

Elevation Map of the Central Reinado

Elevation Map of the Central Reinado

Tormenta is Brazil’s longest-running fantasy roleplaying setting and one of the country’s most influential fantasy properties. Long before contributing professionally to the line through projects such as the Atlas of Arton, I was already creating fan cartography inspired by the setting and exploring its geography through personal projects.

This map presents an estimated elevation model of the central region known as the Reinado in Arton, focusing on Deheon and the surrounding kingdoms. Developed as a fan work, the project was based primarily on the official maps published in O Reinado d20 (2004) and O Mundo de Arton (2013), seeking to extrapolate the terrain and topography implied by the original cartography.

Created in 2019, the map reflects the state of the setting prior to the release of Tormenta20 and before my later professional work on the Atlas of Arton. As such, it offers a fascinating snapshot of both the evolution of the setting and my own development as a cartographer, bridging the gap between fan-created material and the official projects that would follow in subsequent years.

The Lands of Opath

The Lands of Opath

Skyfall RPG is a Brazilian epic fantasy roleplaying game known for its rich worldbuilding and expansive setting. Published by CapyCat Games, the game takes place in the world of Opath, a land shaped by ancient civilizations, mythical catastrophes, and the constant tension between exploration and destiny.

The Lands of Opath form the central region of the setting, bringing together thriving cities, forgotten ruins, contested frontiers, and vast wilderness areas. This map was created to present the region on a continental scale, highlighting major geographical features, travel routes, political centers, and points of interest while providing a comprehensive reference for exploration-focused campaigns and narrative play.

Originally conceived for use in streamed campaigns, the map later became part of the official Skyfall RPG core rulebook published by CapyCat Games. As my first professional commission in the tabletop RPG industry, the project marked the beginning of my career as a fantasy cartographer and established many of the artistic and cartographic approaches that would continue to shape my later work.

Tiriana: The March of the Dormant Ones

Tiriana: The March of the Dormant Ones

This personal project explores the world of Tiriana, an original fantasy setting developed over many years through worldbuilding and fiction. The map depicts the path of the Great Incarnates—colossal spiritual entities that crossed the World Gate at the Hill of Martyrdom and walked in straight lines across Tiriana a thousand years ago, forever reshaping both the landscape and the mythology of the world.

Today, these immense beings are known as the Dormant Ones. Revered, feared, and studied by different cultures, they remain motionless across the continent, awaiting the prophesied end of the world.

The piece was conceived as an in-world artifact, simulating historical printing and reproduction techniques as if it had been produced within Tiriana itself. Rather than striving for modern cartographic precision, the project explores how mythology, memory, and material culture influence the way fictional societies represent their own world, blurring the boundaries between map, historical document, and sacred record.

Tiriana is an original fantasy setting inspired by Brazilian landscapes, folklore, religious traditions, and Indigenous cosmologies. Conceived as a mythical world that existed before our own, the setting explores themes of memory, catastrophe, migration, and enchantment through a distinctly Brazilian lens. At its heart lies a world in decline: ancient civilizations have risen and fallen through the power of itavera—a luminous mineral tied to forgotten magical knowledge—while rising seas and long-foretold disasters threaten what remains of the continent. Rather than reproducing familiar European fantasy tropes, Tiriana seeks to evoke a mythic Brazil, at once familiar and wondrous, standing perpetually on the threshold between history and enchantment.
