Quints? Okay.

The world as they knew it were divided by its' distance from the world tree, Yggdrasil, that kept up the heavens; Its' canopy was the sky.

At the centre, just by the trunk, were vast caves carved into the root. Around it, built into the tree, was Asgard, the home of the gods. In a ring around it, the home of faeries. Around that ring, on the middle layer, humanity lived, Midgard, earth. And, understandably, it deteriorated from there, with dwarves, giants, elves..

That'd about do it, geographically

Now I might just be retarded, but I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as Norse fairies. There were the light and dark elves, but not fairies.

I don't know what to call them if not for fairies. Small, frail, very un-Tolkienesque little mini trolls.

before this thread is flooded with anti-Nordic (anti-white) Christians with the memes and semen drinking Loke, let me just recommend reading the source material we have

Gylfaginning is your best bet
find an English translation, it gives an overview of the mythology and the most important stories
then you can dive into the Poetic Eddas, which are the stories themselves
