On my travels, I have compiled a collection of phenomena characteristic of the world's edge. I have no explanation for anything found written on this little page, so I hope you, dear friend, may venture to discover it yourself. After all, I am a sailor, not a scientist.
- It is known that the air greatly chills as you travel further from the center of our world. The seas begin to freeze over, and one's vessel must be equipped with a fortified horn to break through such ice. I have discovered that the drop in temperature quickens quite rapidly, where the difference in only a mile or so may change conditions from tolerable to viciously cold. I have reason to suspect nothing can live past a point 16,521 miles from home, at least in the north-west direction we have explored. More exploration is required to determine if our little world is symmetrical, and if so, where the center truly lies.
- Far, far out here, around five miles from the surviveable edge, the sky becomes quite clear. I haven't spotted a single cloud past here, and thus there is nothing to block the view of the sky. Even during the peak of daylight, the sky is dark as dusk. What a sight to behold.
It's like nothing I've ever seen.
- The last large animal life was spotted 16,430 miles out. We are utterly alone.
Thank you for listening, dear friend. I'll be sure to report with more observations as soon as I can.
