"In the knowledge that the best place to observe the effects of extraplanar energy entering our world is the region formerly known as Sarkoris, I immediately set off for that desolate land. Upon arriving in Mendev and making inquiries to find a guide who would agree to escort me to the lands bordering the Worldwound, I came up against an unexpected impediment: the local rangers and guides categorically refused to help me. Desna, however, smiled upon me, and led me to a local hunter. After three tankards of grog, he agreed to go with me to the Worldwound and show me the area. By the time he had sobered up, it was already too late to reconsider: we had passed the last cordons and had plunged deep into the forests of Sarkoris.
Even thousands of miles away from the planar rift itself, an attentive observer can discern the anomalies brought about by the Worldwound — insignificant differences that become more and more pronounced the closer one gets. The first thing that struck me were the unnatural trees that looked as though they had all been sketched from a single exemplar.

As we journeyed on, we encountered the remains of dead livestock, dogs, and even people. Some skeletons bore the marks of demon claws, while others had clearly expired of rather more original causes. We even came across two perfectly mummified corpses that looked as though they had turned to stone! Skirting around a sparse and foreboding forest, we came upon a plain that was bisected by a series of unnaturally uniform hills. I would have been only too happy to study said phenomenon, but, alas, after several paces my guide was hoisted up into the air and quite literally turned inside out. After shedding my blood-soaked frock coat and the encumbrance of my souvenirs collected along the way, I hastily withdrew..."
