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.

Created for the Codename Hourglass campaign, this map depicts an alternate version of Opath in which only one of the Falls ever took place, presenting a radically different vision of the setting and its history. Conceived as an in-world artifact supposedly illustrated by a triton mage, the piece explores cartography from the perspective of one of Opath’s own inhabitants rather than as an objective representation of geography.

To reinforce this narrative premise, the artwork was designed to emulate the materials and artistic sensibilities that such a character might employ. Watercolor textures, ethereal outlines, and fluid forms were used throughout the map, resulting in a dreamlike aesthetic that blurs the boundary between geographic document and magical illustration.

This map depicts the region devastated by the Third Great Fall, one of the most significant events in Skyfall’s chronology. Conceived as a hexcrawl tool for exploration-driven campaigns, the piece was designed to support open-ended play focused on discovery, travel, and wilderness adventure in a landscape forever altered by catastrophe.

The art direction draws direct inspiration from the classic 1980 World of Greyhawk map illustrated by the legendary cartographer Darlene. The project seeks to pay homage to this foundational tradition of tabletop RPG cartography, combining a game-oriented structure with an aesthetic reminiscent of the great fantasy settings of the hobby’s early decades. Particular attention was given to clarity, navigability, and the sense of wonder essential to exploration-focused play.

To support the needs of a live-streamed campaign, numerous location icons were created as separate assets and added to the map over time, allowing new places and points of interest to emerge organically as they were discovered during play.
