Graves' End, the oldest of the hollows, was once a bustling community of seaport industrialization. Its original settlers, led by Reginald Graves set up a colony along the Purify River that set the foundation for one of America's largest cities. Taking advantage of its placement near the ocean as well as the Purify, Graves' End quickly became a major stop along shipping and trade routes. Through mining, manufacturing, and trade, Graves' End grew at an alarming rate. In the late 18th century, famed manufacturer Drewer Bros. Ironmakers opened several plants along the Purify and became a powerhouse in worldwide trade. Though many individuals prospered, a sizable portion of Graves' End remained in squalor. In the early 1900's, a disorganized criminal element began to form within the borders of Graves' End. As the other hollows of Roach City grew in size, Graves' End businesses became a routine target of theft, vandalism, and piracy. In 1972, Drewer Bros. filed for bankruptcy and closed the doors on all its Roach City facilities. As violent theft became a daily occurrence, other Graves' End manufacturers quickly followed suit. By 1976, not a single business remained within Graves' End's borders. The vacant buildings and factories along the Purify were looted and became the permanent home of many squatters. These squatters would come to be known as Enders. Highway 220, a major trucking route for cargo traffic to and from Roach City, quickly became a favorite target of the Enders. During a three month span in 1977, eighteen truck drivers as well as their cargo were never to be seen again. Many individuals, as well as traveling families, would suffer the same fate. For all intents and purposes the 13 mile stretch of Highway 220 running through Graves' End is no longer in use. Also in 1977, the last remaining local police station closed its doors. When necessary, Nohaven unhappily took on the burden of police presence. On February 4th, 1978, two Nohaven police officers responded to a distress call near the center of the hollow. The next morning, their bodies were found hanging from a large industrial crane 100 feet above the river. Though Graves' End is still officially a hollow of Roach City, with provisional representation on the council, it has been declared a condemned area. Emergency crews no longer respond to calls from the area, and citizens are urged not to travel across the river. There are an estimated 10,000 people thought to be living in Graves' End. Many small encampments are littered throughout the hollow, with the largest communities living amongst the wreckage of the abandoned industrial district. To this day, the Enders thrive on piracy of the Purify, and are known to often cross the river in search of criminal gains.
