Thaylenah encompasses a trio of islands, as well as a small number of islets, in the South-East of Roshar, on the ocean known as the [[Southern Depths]]. Together, they cover roughly 414,000 km<sup>2</sup>, putting Thaylenah in the middle of all Rosharan states, area-wise.{{url ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|site=17th Shard}} In comparison to real-world nations, it is a little larger than the total area of Paraguay.
The largest of the three islands is several times bigger than the other two, and appears to be the country's population center. It's mostly mountainous, with a tall range rising in the middle.{{map ref|Roshar}} The mountains reach all the way to the shore, with towering cliffs making up the northern coast. The climate is cold and frigid, although the locals find it pleasantly chill.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
In [[Shadesmar]], Thaylenah's largest island manifests as a vast lake known locally as the [[Thaylen Sea]], south of the [[Sea of Lost Lights]]. The shores of Thaylen Sea are unoccupied, with the nearest [[spren]] settlement being [[Salumon]] in the foothills of the mountains to the east.{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}}
