A city located south of Dollet in the forest area. It was an independent country before neighboring country Galbadia invaded 18 years ago. There are numerous resistance groups fighting for independence to this day.

Timber is a city under martial law by the Galbadian Army, and has many resistance groups struggling to regain Timber's independence. Notable features include its many train lines and its television broadcasting studio. It is also the home of Timber Maniacs, a publishing company.

The city's name was derived from the surrounding woods. An atmosphere of new and old blends in the city, with houses and stores having a stone-made look, while the TV station has a more futuristic appearance, and the mixture of Timber and Galbadia's crests within the city allude to the town's complicated history. The town has four train stations, but due to the citizens' disobedience with the current government, the town has never truly prospered under Galbadian regiment.

For a long time, Timber's mass media reflected local political ideology, but was later heavily censored by the government. Timber used to have its own military troops while an independent nation, but following Galbadian occupation that body was largely dissolved and Galbadian soldiers serve as the peace-keeping force. To give its government a firmer presence, the Galbadian army has some of its troops stationed in Timber.
