[[Hallandren]] is located in the Jungle valley on Nalthis. It is unique in the known world of Nalthis as being the only place that [[Tears of Edgli]] will grow, as well as being the only known jungle climate.{{book ref|wb|32}} The growth of plants in this region is partly helped by [[Investiture]], much like the [[Elendel Basin]].{{wob ref|9833}}
Hallandren sits in a valley (the lowlands) bordered by both the [[Bright Sea]] and the mountains. Hallandren encompasses a third of the [[Bright Sea]]'s coastline, and the capital city itself, [[T'Telir]], sits on the sea and is a major trade center.{{book ref|wb|9}} The [[Tears of Edgli]] grow only in the soil of Hallandren.{{book ref|wb|22}} This is due to [[Investiture]] seeping into the ground from [[Endowment]]'s [[Perpendicularity]].{{wob ref|13871}}{{wob ref|9833}} The valley has a moderate climate that is never too cold and rarely experiences harsh weather.{{book ref|wb|12}} The climate allows food to be grown without difficulty. Powerful earthquakes are a frequent occurrence there.{{wob ref|3483}}
 
To Hallandren's east,{{book ref|wb|12}} there is an inland [[Bright Sea|sea]] that features several islands.{{wob ref|7344}} At least a third of the coastline is controlled by Hallandren, which has its [[T'Telir|capital city]] built abutting the water.{{book ref|wb|9}} The area suffers frequent earthquakes.{{wob ref|3483}} There are mountains north of Hallandren, as well as toward the sunrise.
 
To the south of Hallandren is the province of [[Pahn Kahl]].{{book ref|wb|55}} Elephants and zebras are said to be exotic creatures from "the south." Whether this means they come from southern Hallandren or south of Hallandren is unclear.{{book ref|wb|27}} The Hallandren jungle is inhabited by panthers, parrots, monkeys, and crocodiles.{{book ref|wb|32}}{{book ref|wb|35}}{{book ref|wb|27}
 
The Hallandren people have access to fine wines, sweet potatoes, figs, nuts, and garlic, among other foods; it is unknown, however, how much grows in the area and how much is imported.{{book ref|wb|14}}{{book ref|wb|26}} The Bright Sea is full of life, including many sorts of mussels, fish, and tentacled creatures.{{book ref|wb|22}}{{book ref|wb|40}}{{book ref|wb|53}}
