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}}
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}}
