D5, it must be noted, is the location of Cahypdo's southern fishing village. Most of the buildings here are distinct in that they appear to be built of driftwood and debris tossed up from the sea, rather than any sort of naturally growing lumber. The buildings are simplistic but sturdy, and clearly built by people who knew what they were doing. Some of them are on the alarmingly tall side, however - the very tallest almost surpass fifteen feet in height, more akin to towers than houses.
The southern curve of the region houses a section of soft sand. The beach, beat up against by regular ocean waves, is a vast and largely flat expanse that offers an unimpeded view of the coastal horizon.
Three docks jut out into the ocean, each with simple raftlike boats tethered in place. These little vessels probably wouldn't survive in the open sea, but they can certainly be used to scope out the shallows surrounding the island, if one wished. The round lumps of woven baskets are piled at the ends of each dock - likely what the locals use to carry their spoils from fishing trips from boat to beach, and vice versa.
Speaking the locals...they'll be happy to speak with you, if you're interested.
Besides the sprawl of the fishing village in Cahypdo's southern region, D5's sands gradually segue into a smattering of bluffs. The gentle slopes can be occasionally infuriating to traverse due to the abundance of soft, slippery sand, not to mention the landscape's general instability. It isn't uncommon for entire sections of the bluffs to simply crumble away mid-climb, sending unwary travelers tumbling back down to sea level.
But if one is determined in their efforts, they'll find crops of sea grass at the peaks of the bluffs - along with something that might be promising for any organic members of the party.
Asparagus is an extraordinarily hardy vegetable that can withstand extreme temperatures and worse, and often grows back despite one's best efforts to get rid of it. The wild asparagus in this region has more or less been allowed to flourish, untamed, though it's clear from some of the trimmed stalks here and there that the Roaka have seen fit to sample some of the wild-growing sprouts for their own tables. Despite this, it's clear that they haven't made any real attempt to tame or cultivate the plants. Perhaps they don't feel that they need to, strictly speaking. They probably won't mind if you end up sampling any for your own purposes, as long as you don't kill too many of them in the process. Most asparagus is cut very close to the baes of the spear, without killing the base of the plant.
As long as you leave some for the Roaka, you're free to take as much as you need.
