Yup. Its always funny how so many fantasy maps have a desert that starts to the southeast and goes past the edge of the map.
I actually saw a thing on r/worldbuilding kind of about how the home of a worldbuilder impacts their fictional worlds. Something about how realistically a medieval society would be really spaced out over a large area, and a British guy pointed out that in Britain a lot of important places really were within a days' travel of each other way back then, so it would be realistic to have an absurdly tight fantasy world. Whereas my fictional universe has giant continents with distributions of geographical features curiously similar to North America and big distances between anything important. The main continent of interest has a culture that can be best described as "medieval American", maybe as if the Romans had somehow settled the west coast. But, of course, not literally, because it's all in a fictional universe.
Also, 'scan, gonna point out that geographically that makes no sense, because the geographic poles (not to be confused with magnetic poles) are the coldest points on a planet because they receive the most variable levels of sunlight at the lowest angle, and the equator, by definition, receives a constant amount of directly-overhead sunlight year round. Of course, with fantasy you could say a wizard did it, but that nomenclature would then be backwards from the perspective of someone in the world.
