Not much is currently known about Wortham. It's located not too far away from [[Tristram]], but does not share the lush fields and picturesque rivers in its surrounding wilderness.[http://www.diablowiki.net/Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0020]

The [[Festering Wood]]s are connected to Wortham through a wooden bridge, that recently has been completely destroyed and burned beyond repair. This is likely the work of the villagers themselves, cutting off the lovely named Festering Woods from their lives due to the fact it's full of [[Gnarled Walker]]s.

When traveller and writer [[Abd al-Hazir]] visited Wortham to get a first hand glimpse of these walking trees, he among others found [[Pablo DeSoto]] and his daughter [[Leah]] there as well. It's very possible this is their home, or perhaps they were also just passing by.

Seeing as there is a named river close to Tristram, and that Wortham is not far away, it's very possible this is one of the little villages that sprung up around the [[Horadrim|Horadric]] monastery some hundred years back, and are fishing from the river [[Talsande]].
