'''Rolt Heights''' (known in [[zamgrh]] as '''Rahg Haagz''') is a [[suburb]] of [[Malton]], located in the northeast section of the city. The suburb contains several locations of interest, including one of Malton's most famous [[pub]]s, the [[The Burchell Arms|Burchell Arms]], the [[The Gold Monument|Gold Monument]], [[Mare Towers]], the [[The Riddell Museum]], and the adjoining IMAX [[Fanning Cinema]]. Rolt Heights is considered by many [[survivor]]s to be a somewhat undesirable piece of real estate in post-epidemic Malton due in no small part to its complete lack of [[NecroTech]] [[:Category:Necrotech Buildings|facilities]]. While these very useful facilities are still accessible from adjacent suburbs it still makes controlling the central area of the suburb harder for survivors who must travel farther in search of [[Revivification syringe]]s. [[Zombie]] density is somewhat higher here than in neighboring suburbs for this very reason.
 
==[[Image:AquaMonument.jpg|left|22px]]Rolt Heights - ''Come for the atmosphere, stay for the beer!''==
Before the outbreak, Rolt Heights was known for being an industrial neighbourhood. It is the site of [[Banfield Park]], where a major labor rally was held in the 1940s during the ''Rolt Heights General Strike''. The strike was considered very controversial with even the suburb's churches being divided on the issue. Preachers from the Western churches provided aid to the strikers, while the Northeast churches threw their support behind the strike-breakers. It is known that the [[Rolt Clan]] became central figures in many of these labor disputes, having earned their name from the suburb they had claimed as their own.
 
In the few years prior to the "[[Malton Incident]]" the old industrial companies had already begun to wind down and work became harder to find. As Rolt Heights' economy had always on industrial labor many high-tech companies shunned the somewhat backwards suburb, including the mega-corporation [[NecroTech]]. Many believe that it was due to this slow spiral in economic poverty that, in the span of a single generation, the children of the previous generation's [[factory]] workers had become interested careers that would find them work later in life, unlike the types of jobs their hardworking parents had toiled at over the decades before them. Now educated, most moved from the suburb to locate jobs as office workers or obscure scientists elsewhere, as both professions were considered growing industries in Malton. With what little hope Rolt Heights had at recovering gone the suburb seemed to have finally met its end and on the eve of the outbreak most of the factories were either closed or had already been torn down, leaving behind only sparse wastelands of broken brick and glass as reminders of the thriving industry that once was.
 
With five factories and few office buildings those who remained in the suburb belonged mostly to the working class. Still, there were also hipster entrepreneurs drawn into the suburb by its shady nature, who worked together to construct a nightclub district in the middle of the neighborhood.<br><br>

===2012===
====March====
=====March 18<sup>th<sup>=====
25.96 MHz: "... leaving Rolt Heights, counted thirty or so outside ... mostly just small groups ... a few buildings with lights on ... serious collateral damage ..." --[[User:Clevin|Clevin]] 05:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 
=====March 9<sup>th</sup>=====
In the evening hours, a determined group of zombies from the [[Bairn Ceatharn]] faction of [[MOB]] broke into [[the Burchell Arms]] after following some scents. After a fierce battle lasting several hours, the bar was once again ruined. --[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 01:31, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
=====March 8<sup>th</sup>=====
At exactly midnight, the [[BLF]] - a reconnaissance team from the [[Militant Order of Barhah]] - slipped into the [[Schreiber Drive Police Department|Schreiber Drive PD]]. They found another group of resting survivors inside. After summoning additional zombies from the vicinity, they hungrily set upon their prey. Screams of agony and terror could be heard emanating from the darkened building, and zombies were seen dragging out their prey to feed their fledgling zombies. Our sources say that at this time, [[MOB]] seems to be preparing to finish this group off and open additional structures. Survivors in the surrounding buildings are preparing for the worst, and only the mighty [[Malton Department of Defense]] and what remains of the valiant [[The Burchell Arms Regulars]] stand in their way. --[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 03:30, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
:In the last few hours, [[The Burchell Arms Regulars]] were successful at ejecting sentinel zombies from the [[Militant Order of Barhah]]. A taunting slogan was spray-painted outside. There's the chance that these zombies have been taught a lesson by these courageous zombie hunters. --[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 19:26, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 
=====March 7<sup>th</sup>=====
A small group of survivors were found inside of [[the Burchell Arms]]. Only one remains there now. Survivors provided a stiff resistance in this pub, thanks to [[the Burchell Arms Regulars]], and at this time are still trying to protect the remaining individual there. --[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 19:10, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 
=====March 6<sup>th</sup>=====
[[Ayliffe Street Police Dept]] has been the site of an ongoing fight all through the night. Several survivors were suprised in their bunks last night as members of the [[Militant Order of Barhah]] broke through and tore them to shreds. The commotion alerted several others inside, and a battle erupted. Five of the police officers on duty last night did what they could, but the rising number of zombies prevented an effective barrier from being erected and from being ejected. Stay tuned for further updates later today. --[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 13:18, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
=====March 5<sup>th</sup>=====
25.96 MHz: "... reporting from Rolt Heights, I've got a couple of dozen active ... all stragglers, no groups ... several buildings with power ... only a few buildings damaged ..." --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 22:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
=====March 4<sup>th</sup>=====
Some overflow zombie activity from Gibsonton made it's way into Rolt Heights overnight, and into the early hours of the morning, as zombies from the [[Militant Order of Barhah]] struck at both [[Silverius General Hospital]] and [[Ayliffe Street Police Dept]]. So far, just one reconnaissance group has wandered over, but the suburb may make a quick change for the worse if the rest of [[MOB]] makes it's way northwards.--[[User:FLZombie|FLZombie]] 04:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 
==[[Image:AquaMMI.jpg|left|22px]] Things to do while in Rolt Heights ==
*'''Drop by for a Pint!''' - Looking for a nice cold draft? Well then the [[The Burchell Arms Regulars|Burchell Arms Regulars]] welcome you to come on down to the [[The Burchell Arms|Burchell Arms]]. The Burchell Arms is a traditional English pub located in the suburb of Rolt Heights along the border with [[Pescodside]] to the east. The Burchell Arms also boasts comfort in times of trouble and cool refreshing beer. So come from a pint of [[beer]] or two, or three, or four. But who's counting? Stay around for a while and kick back in the safest ''hole in the wall'' the suburb has to offer with a friendly environment and a place to hide from the infestation of zombies!
 
*'''For SCIENCE!''' - Sure, [[Dulston]] and [[Pescodside]] may have their "Museum Mile", but all their museums combined cannot compare with the wonders crammed under the one roof that is the [[The Riddell Museum|Riddell Museum]]. Yes, you'll be amazed by the collection of horrific oddities, potentially dangerous experiments, and unattended shiny red buttons. But please remember: no touching, poking, prodding, kicking, spitting, shooting, puking, bleeding, or [[Death|dying]] on the exhibits. And most of all: Do not ride the bomb!
 
*'''The Library District!''' - While the industrial sector has been a major part of Rolt Heights, the five [[Library|libraries]] are at the heart of the suburb's intellectual revival. Each of the libraries has its own personality which is reflected in its collections and programs. Prior to the outbreak, all of the libraries loaned current bestsellers, books on CD, DVDs, local history, and a broad range of fiction and non-fiction for adults and children. With the library staff absent in most cases, locals have decided to waive usual registration requirements. But, if you borrow a book, please remember to bring it back within 2 weeks so someone else can enjoy it. Materials can be dropped off at any of the libraries.
 
*'''The Wonders of IMAX!''' - Tired of seeing the same thing every day? Burnt out cars. Dead people. Zombies? Well why not visit the IMAX [[Fanning Cinema]] and enjoy an inspiring film that you could say is, "larger than life". Ha-ha! While the movie selection is limited, when you consider the alternative you'll be coming back again and again. See you soon!
 
*'''Make a Leftist Pilgrimage''' No, Karl Marx isn't buried here. Actually, some say he's shuffling through the streets somewhere. But with the rich radical history of Rolt Heights, some socialists and anarchists like to venture to Rolt Heights to pay their respects to some of the great landmarks of Malton class struggles. They visit [[Banfield Park]], [[St. Romuald's Church (Rolt Heights)|St. Romuald's Church]], and the local factories.
 
*'''Worship at the Gummer Arms''' - Home of Zah G-zazbarn Ah Gammah Armz. 
 
*'''Get Eaten!''' - When all you've been there, done that when passing through Rolt Heights, your friendly neighborhood zombies are more than willing to help you enjoy the joys that "Rot Heights" holds for the undead. The [[Manbagz Zahmbahz]] and local ferals guarantee that if your not dead by the second day outside, then the brainz are on us! Drop dead into Rolt Heights today!
 
==[[Image:AquaBarricade.jpg|left|22px]]Barricade Policy==
While not enforced, the [[Rolt Heights 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 Rolt Heights. 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.<br><br>
