Atlas of Arton
Tormenta20 is Brazil’s leading fantasy tabletop roleplaying game and one of the country’s most successful and enduring fantasy properties. Set in the world of Arton, the setting has evolved continuously for more than twenty-five years through rulebooks, novels, comics, streamed campaigns, and numerous supplements, establishing itself as a cornerstone of the Brazilian RPG industry.
Created for the Atlas of Arton, this project represented one of the largest cartographic undertakings ever produced for the setting. Its primary goal was to consolidate decades of published material into a cohesive visual representation of the continent, bringing together information previously scattered across novels, game supplements, adventures, and sourcebooks.
The main poster map served as the centerpiece of the publication and as the foundation for an extensive collection of regional maps, allowing each kingdom, frontier, and territory to be explored in greater depth. Beyond illustrating geography, the project sought to establish a unified visual language for Arton while preserving the unique identity and history of its many nations and cultures.
Published in 2023, the Atlas of Arton quickly became one of the setting’s definitive visual references. The book received the 2024 Goblin de Ouro Awards for both Best Artwork and Best Supplement, further cementing its importance within the Brazilian tabletop RPG community.
The project began with the creation of a large-format poster map of Arton, designed to present the continent as a unified whole and serve as a definitive reference for players and readers. Building upon this cartographic foundation, individual maps were then developed for each kingdom and major region of the setting, greatly expanding the level of detail and allowing the distinctive geographical, political, and cultural characteristics of each territory to be explored.
Among the most significant additions was Lamnor, a continent frequently referenced throughout Tormenta’s history but seldom depicted in detailed cartography. The project required consolidating information scattered across decades of publications to create the first comprehensive continental representation of the region, providing an unprecedented view of its nations, borders, and landscapes.
The atlas also introduced a new cartographic interpretation of Moreania, revisiting and expanding earlier depictions of the region. Particular emphasis was placed on reinforcing the unique identity of the realm of the moreaus, highlighting its territorial organization, characteristic environments, and relationship with the wider world of Arton.
Likewise, Doherimm received an entirely new map developed to portray the legendary subterranean kingdom of the dwarves in far greater depth. One of the project’s central challenges was visually representing a territory defined by geological complexity and immense excavated structures, conveying both the grandeur and the ancient legacy of Doherimm civilization.
