Okran's Gulf is a zone which comprises the western edge of The Holy Nation's Territory. It is likely given its name "Gulf" for bordering the alien-like Fog Islands, and like many other territories which the HN controls, it is named after their deity Okran.

It is also home to Stack, one of the Major Towns of HN, where High Inquisitor Seta, the officer responsible for countering the invasion of various Shek factions from the South to this region and its neighboring region Okran's Pride, can be found.

It's characterized by an extensive amount of flat and arid-but-mostly-fertile-lands, which gradually transitions to a more mountainous look when it's closer to Rebirth.

This zone is comparatively much less heavily patrolled than their neighboring Okran's Pride, but patrols are nonetheless still a fairly common sight here, who police the region in an attempt to clear it from outlaws. Occasionally, players may see wandering Caravan Trader Bosses (affiliated with HN) Nomads and Mercenary Guild roaming this region. Animals such as Bulls and Wolves can be spotted here. Some lone individuals such as Drifters and Lost Drones can also be occasionally spotted.

Two Holy Military Bases can be found somewhat near the edge of this region, likely built to prevent widespread infiltration of Fogmen from the Fog Islands next to this region. A series of Holy Mines can be found in this region, with one of the former Holy Mines close to the Obedience overrun by Fogmen to become a Deadhive Overrun.

The security of this region appears to be heavily fortified in its southern and western parts but lacking in southeast and northern areas.

Trivia

• Patrols of Shek Kingdom, Kral's Chosen and Berserkers are constantly attempting to invade into this region but have been blocked off as a result of Seta's forces. This can be seen in how when he is gone, their presence in this region starts to become noticable as spawns. And, in the case of Shek Kingdom specifically, how even after their assaults are clearly fully under way if Seto is imprisoned/dead, killing off either Seta or Phoenix still increases their presence, indicating that they were always there, just blocked off.
  • Phoenix's status likely serves as a 2nd line of defense or reserve force aimed at eradicating the rest of Shek Warriors that weren't cleared off in the 1st round by Seta as his status is directly tied with certain Shek Kingdom spawns in this region.
• Fog Deathyard has 2 World States to cause it to start spawning form this region, one determined by Phoenix status which determines whether or not the army will withdraw from Holy Military Base causing the Fogmen from the northeastern Fog Islands to spill in. The other, determined by The Queen's status, determines whether the turned Hivers will spill in from the southeastern corner of this region from Vain and Dreg, which doesn't have as much stationed military base presence to prevent their infestation.
  • While logically this should cause Fogmen to spawn much more often in the northern/southern part of the region depending on the source of infestation, the game mechanics are incapable of simulating this, causing the nests to spawn with equal chance across the entire region.
  • Because the spawn mechanics uses a weight system to determine the nest picked for spawn chance (as opposed to increasing/decreasing spawn rates depending on the level of density) triggering either source for Fogmen massively reduces the level of Wolf Den presence in the region, while having both sources stacked (Phoenix and The Queen dead) would only increase Fogmen presence by a miniscule amount rather than doubling it.
• Southern Hive likely similarly traversed into this region from Vain, and some may have wandered off into the neighboring region Okran's Pride.
