Um, hey guys? Where exactly *is* The Fairy King's Forest?
That seems like a dumb-fuck question to ask, especially for me to ask, but there's this underlying issue.
This is really more of a genuine question to people who are better with the translations and original Japanese versions than I am. And not really analysis.
We know where the forest is. Like we have maps, it's on maps of Britannia.

But... is it actually in Britannia?
Because of translation and issues with localizing vernacular, there are a few things with Fairies that have always tripped me up a little. Like switching between saying "Holy Tree" and "Sacred Tree". I always assume they're interchangeable terms for the same tree, but I'm never 100% sure. Three different trees as this point are all refered to by these words;
The one in the Fairy Realm that was birthed by Chaos and created the Fairy Realm and the Fairy Clan.

The tree in the old Fairy King's Forest

And the one in the new forest

They're all called "The Sacred Tree" even though, at least the new one for sure, is a separate structure we've seen start from a new seed.
So what I'm unsure of, based on how things have been said in both the manga and the anime, is weather the Fairy King's Forest is technically in Britannia or if it's just inside the Fairy Realm. Like, I know we're told it's on the border - or acts as the border? - but that makes it's physical location a little tough for me to grasp. When someone is in the Fairy King's Forest, are they technically in the Fairy Realm?
