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material culture influence the way fictional societies represent their own world, blurring the boundaries between map, historical document, and sacred record.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.

Tiriana: The Lowlands of Chã Crassa

Tiriana: The Lowlands of Chã Crassa

This personal project presents a regional-scale map of the Chã Crassa Lowlands, a coastal region located along the eastern shores of Tiriana. Conceived as part of the ongoing development of the setting, the map explores the geography and spatial relationships of a landscape shaped by its proximity to the sea and by the cultures that inhabit it.

Like other maps created for Tiriana, the piece was designed not only as a geographic reference, but also as a worldbuilding tool. Particular attention was given to the interplay between terrain, settlement patterns, and regional identity, helping to establish the Chã Crassa as a distinctive and believable part of the larger world.
