The commercial buildings in town aren't much to speak of, but they are sufficient in the day to day life. One of them is a general store with things from groceries to tools to a small selection of handguns and hunting rifles, the second is a mechanic workshop and the third is a human-owned pub that only holds open 3 days a week for the evening – and special occasions outside those times. As for housing, the small community consists of twelve houses, most of which are duplexes and quadruplexes, and a single two-story apartment building with fifteen apartments. There are also ongoing construction projects in the area to bring that number up.

Road's End is a small settlement at the end of the north-western road leading off from Freedom Falls. The small community is often referred to by the locals as Erantha, a name holding significance to the residents of Road's End, a memento to a brave departed that gave their lives in the small community's defense during the raid.

The commercial buildings in town aren't much to speak of, but they are sufficient in day-to-day life. One of them is a general store with things from groceries to tools to a small selection of handguns and hunting rifles, the second is a mechanic workshop, and the third is a human-owned pub that only holds open 3 days a week for the evening – and special occasions outside those times. The small community consists of twelve houses, duplexes and quadruplexes, and a single two-story apartment building with fifteen apartments. There are also ongoing construction projects in the area to bring that number up.

While most of the residents there are from the three farmsteads or work in the production buildings, the area has become attractive due to its distance from the central areas and the lower housing prices.

Road's End is within Freedom Falls territory, and its security is thus also the responsibility of the militia.

Population: 70

History

A sizeable portion of Freedom Falls's population lives in the surrounding homesteads, making it natural that a few of them would go together despite the 'no neighbors' appeal of this sparsely populated world. In 2145, three homesteads – all asari-owned – got together and formed a company to better act on the emerging local food markets by sharing parts of the production between them. It didn't take much negotiation before the terms were approved by all three, neither undermining the other.

By the end of 2147, the structures for meat and dairy production stood complete, and a road had connected it, and other homesteads along the way to the town Freedom Falls. Due to how rare sky-cars and shuttles are, it was proven cost-effective in the long run to accommodate wheeled transports. To accommodate the workforce they needed for the construction, operation, and maintenance of the shared buildings, homesteads started renting out houses and rooms they had to spare. Soon, new construction for the same purpose followed.

The namesake of this community, the road, was constructed early on in the process. They needed materials and somewhere to ship their goods. This was before the town's sudden growth in the 2160s and 70s, so they didn't imagine the local region as their main market as is the fact in the current time. It has also become a backbone for other farmsteads that have popped up after the primarily human expansion. This has also grown the company at the core of the community, and many of the farms along the road have supply deals with them. The company, which before bore the name of the three farmsteads, is now called the Erantha Company to appear more inviting to independent suppliers.
