Location Okara's Sanctuary

[Okara]

Okara’s Residence Okara’s residence is located east of the Overwater Ranchos. The five acres she chose is fairly distant from the City Core but that choice was intentional. Okara has a long walk to work at the Panacea each day but chose to situate her home on the opposite end of the settlement so that if someone is injured and unable to make it the Panacea she can provide assistance if she is around or a place to rest if she is not. Almost a third of Okara’s five acres are taken up by a wide stream that flows down to the sea. In dry seasons the stream shrinks to a shallow trickle over slick, mossy rocks. In wet seasons the stream swells up to a fast-flowing water body that teems with fish and aquatic life. During it’s highest points there are places where someone could comfortably soak their body but the inconsistent depth and rocky bottom of the stream would make it implausible to traverse with a canoe or other water craft. What lies further up the stream beyond the property is currently unknown. The remaining two-thirds of Okara’s residence is primarily thick, tropical forest with a relatively short strip of sandy beach above the tide line. The forested portion of her land is heavily wooded with palm trees, some of which are coconut bearing. The other fruit-bearing trees that have been found on the property include lemon, mango, and avocado. Insects, birds, and small mammals call this patch of forest home and take no notice of the blonde woman that pretends to claim dominance. A small, one person tent is set up on the beach with a crate of cooking supplies set beside it. This tiny camp is the only sign that the land has been settled and claimed. The tropical forest behind it still stands virgin and unchallenged. The potential of the property is immense and waiting to be exploited.
