The Fifth of Trees is a large forested region, said to cover one-fifth of the land. It is located in the northern part of a large continent, bridging the populated landmass to the desolate polar region. It spans temperate and boreal zones, bordering an arid badlands, mountain ranges, an ocean, and the highlands of Belegon.
It is composed of nine characteristic regions. The established boundaries of the forest regions are features of the geography of the Fifth of Trees. They are somewhat analogous to defended political zones of control in some regions, though much of the region is not centrally governed by anyone.
The region contains four lakes: Lake Bala, Lake Aina, Great Lake Taddan, and the Corthan Spring.

Waterways
The Fifth of Trees has two major rivers:
- The Sarena courses through the Edilyn Forest into the Great Corthan Wood, terminating at Aina. It historically formed the southern border of the Edilyn state, which is now defined by Lake Bala. It is the longer of the two major rivers.
- The Heynan begins at Lake Taddan, near the Corthan city of Dèa, and runs southeast toward the Corthan Spring. Although shorter, it carries significantly more water than the Sarena and is both wider and deeper on average. It terminates at the entrance of the Spring, which also has outlets into the Underground River, forming a major source of that waterway.
