End of Times: Valkaria
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 game 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.
Fim dos Tempos (End of Times) is an official Tormenta20 actual-play series published and streamed by Jambô Editora and game-mastered by acclaimed fantasy author Leonel Caldela, one of the setting’s principal creators. Followed by thousands of viewers, the campaign explores some of the most iconic regions of Arton through a blend of epic storytelling, exploration, and ongoing worldbuilding.
Created for Fim dos Tempos, this map depicts Valkaria, the largest city in Arton and the political, economic, and cultural heart of the continent. Home to adventurers, merchants, nobles, pilgrims, and travelers from every corner of the world, the metropolis has occupied a central role throughout the history of the setting and serves as the backdrop for numerous official adventures, sourcebooks, novels, and pivotal events in the ongoing narrative of Tormenta. As the setting’s most iconic urban environment, Valkaria has become one of the defining locations of Brazilian fantasy gaming.
The artwork draws inspiration from RPG maps published during the 1980s and 1990s, embracing a classic aesthetic that pays homage to the golden age of fantasy settings and the large poster maps traditionally included in game supplements. Particular attention was given to visual hierarchy, readability, and the city’s immense scale, seeking to capture both the grandeur and the lived-in complexity of a fantasy metropolis that has grown over decades of publication.
To support the needs of a live-streamed campaign, location icons were created as separate assets and overlaid during broadcasts as new places were discovered and explored by the players, allowing the map to evolve organically alongside the story.
