Region Map of arrid world

I believe so, but I'm not the originator of that part, just the map maker. I like themed worlds despite the typical lack of complete realism in the climates. Like any good story you need a certain suspension of disbelief for it to work. I'm not extremely knowledgeable about climates, but its my understanding that without the ability to moderate the temperatures that having large ocean masses provide having a habitable planet is much more difficult.

Actually, speaking as the person who commissioned this, the planet at large is quite a bit colder than that; Iceland or Patagonia would be the closest equivalent climates on Earth, albeit the area pictured here (close to the equator) is a bit warmer, just warm enough to grow most earthly cereal crops and let the lakes and rivers host living fish (though swimming still isn't a very good idea).
