You are, after all, going out to uncharted realms in search of answers and reasons for sinister occurrences. You have two choices there:
 * If you want, you can stay there for longer than expected to do some hardcore combat training courses (because the player knows there will be an enemy, even if his character does not).
 * Or you can go with the flow and start your search immediately. Later, when you first encounter the Infurian and find yourself outmatched; driven back, you should probably go back and get more into the combat part. That's when you do your hardcore training.

Pre-Korri: Not destroyed

Pre-Haerstel: Partially destroyed building

Post-Haerstel: Shattered ground, post-apoc building

The Hub World is one of the few that remains largely unblemished throughout the game. There may be some signs of war, but nothing significant...at least, not the way I imagine it to be. Compare it to a country at war: they aren't going to leave their rubble laying around during or after.
