    That huge lake in the south, surrounded by mountains would I guess be large enough to be an inland sea? I don't know the rules when it comes to such things but I would imagine there would need to be enough heat to evaporate as much water as is coming in to it? Otherwise I'd guess it would need an overflow, maybe into the lakes to the north. Dunno.

    It is an inland sea, it's endorheic. So, by the grace of it being my map I have decreed that there is enough evaporation and subsurface seepage to maintain the current level =p. Although I have considered turning it into a bay, I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's always a future option.

    I'm still undecided as to what kind of world it is, I've toyed with the idea of it being sort of.. an inverse planet, like, being plastered to the inside of a sphere. Think lots of halo rings stuck together. But I'm notoriously bad at making decisions as I've been revising significant elements of my setting for years, my group gets understandably annoyed sometimes so we don't play in it very often. This is the first map I've done that isn't basically just a rough sketch. I'm finally feeling like it's nearing completion in my mind, so I'll hopefully be having more than just this single continent posted eventually.

    Wouldn't that be a Dyson sphere? If that is the case you have to remember that it would most likely be artificial and probably contain very few mountains and be very very Big for the surface to be far enough anything bright and warm enough to sustain life there.
    edit:
    Though if someone was capable of creating such device, they could probably do any kind of terrain they wanted anywhere.
