Pescodside is a suburb of Malton, located in the northeast corner of the city. Several interesting buildings and locations of note within Pescodside include the Featherstone Library [94,16], the Happy-Happy Fun-Fun Sugar Mill [90,16], the Prior Monument [99,10], and the suburb's holy trinity of churches: St. Odile's Church [94,10], St. Matthias's Church [96,12], and St. Josephine's Church [90,19].
Pescodside
Before the outbreak Pescodside was known as one of Malton's more culturally-minded suburbs. This was best reflected in the "Museum Mile" which made Pescodside so popular among families in neighboring suburbs. During the outbreak, Pescodside was nearly deserted with most of its inhabitants having been evacuated by military convoy, but even with this being the case not everyone was able to flee Malton before the quarantine was in place, which in some cases included military personnel. Those soldiers and unevacuated civilians became the survivors who now populate the nearly deserted suburb.
In the months that followed groups formed from among the survivor ranks, such as the Sons of Korhal and the Friends of the Featherstone Library, which in turn helped pave the way towards providing security to survivors within the suburb. Of course at the same time threats to humanity were never far away as zombie hordes inexorably flowed into the suburb. Hordes such as the Bela Lugosi Fan Klub and the Drunken Dead marched in from the nearby desolate suburb of Dunningwood and claimed Pescodside as their own. In the ensuing battles control of the suburb changed hands many times with both survivors and zombies alike claiming victory at one time or another. Those days are well remembered and while some groups, like the Drunken Dead and Friends of the Featherstone Library, have withstood the test of time other groups have passed into memory.
The Burchell Arms Regulars, another of the suburb's oldest survivor groups, established the Otto Street revive point in May 2006, continue to sponsor the Clewett Building, and arranged a safe house network in the westside of Pescodside - lasting throughout two attacks from the Big Bash and a separate attack by the Ridleybank Resistance Front. These days, alongside the older groups, new groups vie for control within Pescodside. Among the survivors stand the Pescodside Defense Alliance, Dante's Guard, and Metal Fox. While among the undead the Dead Animals - Redux are currently the only local zombie group. In the wake of larger zombie hordes, like the Militant Order of Barhah and Mall Tour '07, all the survivor groups, both new and old, have been successful in re-establishing survivor dominance in this area. However, the area is now under attack as the most recent target of this year's Big bash. Casualties are beginning to slowly climb as the death tolls are seeming to have a snowball effect. If you visit the suburb, remember, it's always nice to EHB when you visit a neighbor!
Barricade Policy
While not enforced, the Pescodside Barricade Plan is supported by survivors groups within the suburb. As a precaution survivors are advised to review the plan and be aware of potential barricade levels throughout Pescodside. If the barricades at a specific location do not match the plan survivors have the right to lower them, but should know that lowering barricades may draw ire from survivors at that location - especially in the west, where the Burchell Arms Regulars have established and kept to a long term local barricade plan for the area.

Revive Points
Mermagen Street [94,14] was opened as one of the very first revive points in the suburb, and was patrolled and serviced by the Sons of Korhal. When the Sons disbanded the location fell under the management of the Pescodside Defense Alliance (PDA) who maintain it to this day. This was followed by The Burchell Arms Regulars who have declared Otto Street [91,16] as a revive point maintained by their group.
On a more historical note, one of the oldest revive points in Pescodside was located at Sirl Plaza [93,10] and was monitored by NecroTech staff stationed at the Waish Building, but since March 2006 it was officially declared inactive. This was in no small part due to the fact that often bored Dulston survivors from Pegrum Place PD would attack zombies awaiting revival at Sirl Plaza making it too hazardous a location.
NecroNet Scans
A service provided by the Pescodside Defense Alliance, NecroNet scans from all of Pescodside's NecroTech facilities and in-depth reports on the surrounding area. Each scan will be posted once per week, with increased scans provided during increased zombie activity or emergencies. This resource is also open to the public so all survivors can provide their own updates. The PDA NecroNet scan reports can be found here.

The Inman Building (NT) has fallen into zombie hands. Survivors are asked to revive people at Mermagen Street and Wedmore Grove. In other news the Imperium and the Dulston Alliance have declared war on the Pescodside Defense Alliance, because of PDA members killing their leaders. When asked about why they were killed, PDA leader Lemonhead7t7 had this to say:
"The Imperium and the Dulston Alliance have signed up with the Malton Uprising, who hopes to reform the DEM by killing their members. This makes them Murderers in my opinion, (although I think we can all agree that is fact). Killing them seemed only right, as they had intentions to kill DEM members. The BAR have also signed up with the Malton Uprising, and I hope they come to their senses and leave before people label them as Murderers as well."

- While joining the Malton Uprising, the movement that supports killing of DEM personnel to make a point, is ethically questionable by itself, one has to wonder if it is a good idea for the PDA to alienate itself from its former allies, the Dulston Alliance and the Imperium, both of which are strong and capable pro-survivor groups, and are working to help defending Pescodside from the advancing zombie horde. Now, thanks to the open hostility of the PDA, both alliances are pulling their forces out of Pescodside. It is unknown how a group of a dozen like the PDA will handle a horde of a hundred zombies, seeing the Inman NT building under their control has already fallen. -- Kittithaj 18:45, 23 September 2008 (BST)
- May it be noted that the DA and the Imperium are openly attacking PDA members and have called in PKer groups to assist. --Blanemcc 21:16, 23 September 2008 (BST)
- May it be noted that until proof of any such attacks upon PDA members is presented (or, shucks, even just the names of attacker and attacked, for that matter), the Uprising's unofficial death-list keeper considers Blanemcc a delusional and slanderous cad. --Jen 23:55, 23 September 2008 (BST)
- News is Non-Point Of View. This has all been Point Of View. Take it off, and, if you want, continue the conversation on the Talk Page. I hope that's not too difficult for you to find, is it dearies? --PerpetuallyDead 00:33, 24 September 2008 (BST)

- The hordes move quick through Pescodside, as the whole northern section lies in ruins and the eastern part is starting to heat up as well. St. Bartholomew's was recently broken in with four dead. Upgrading danger level to orange. --Aeon17x 09:50, 11 September 2008 (BST)

The Inman Building has been reclaimed by the PDA, but with much help from local survivors. Low zombie numbers in the area, with the highest concentration at St.Ninian's Hospital.

Things to do while in Pescodside
- Featherstone Wargame Society - The Featherstone Library and members of the Friends of the Featherstone Library would like to invite all strategy gamers to join them for their weekly wargame sessions. New survivors will learn basic tactics they may one day serve them in real life, that is, if they acquire troops, tanks, artillery, and air support. And for those not keen on gaming, drop by the library and read a book. Have you read a book today?
- Sugar?... Sugar!... SUGAR!! - Tired? Not finding you have enough energy to survive these days? Well then come on down to the Happy-Happy Fun-Fun Sugar Mill! Children and adults of all ages love sugar, and our patented HH-brand raw red sugar is all-natural thanks to our (legally unpatented) secret recipe. So remember, bring all your children to the mill for a day of fun, why, kids might have so much fun that they may never want to leave*...
- *DISCLAIMER: The HH Company is not held liable for any missing children. Parents are asked to monitor their children at all times unless distracted by our helpful staff.
- The "Museum Mile" - Few suburbs in Malton can boast 6 museums, but Pescodside certainly can. Along with the Pepperell, Nurley, and Masters Museums in nearby Dulston, the Backholer, Sunderland, Keats, and Margetts Museums together form the famous "Museum Mile" which runs from north to south along the west side of the two suburbs. So why not take the day off to relax and visit a museum for a day of culture and education. Patrons are reminded, please, no vandalizing (i.e. ransacking).
