Historical Significance Section
Axes High is a human group that is dedicated to killing zombies exclusively with melee weapons. They recruit survivors that have only ever used melee weapons (primarily the fire axe); this policy led to the schism that formed The Head Hunters.
Axes High membership consists mainly of firefighters, but also includes some scientists and even the odd military scout. The prime directives of AH are the rescue and protection of survivors, the destruction or revivification of zombies, and mutual defense of fellow members from both the zombie menace and PKers. In pursuit of these goals, AH members may act as warriors, healers, scouts and safehouse builders.
Axes High has called the suburb of Barrville home since their successful occupation and evacuation of Floyde Stadium in October of 2005. Only now, in December of 2005, have they decided to make their presence in the suburb official.
"Malton is damned.
Death walks our streets, our sidewalks, in our homes and shops.
Our families are dead. Or worse.
We want payback, and we do it old school.
With our fists, our boots, lead pipes and axes.
We are firemen, we are medics... we're your next door neighbor.
A month ago we wept over spilt milk...
...now we're carved out of stone.
We are ...AXES HIGH."
Zombies destroyed: 645+
Survivors revived: 177+

Important Events
- October 23, 2005 - This date saw the successful conclusion of Axes High's first major campaign, the occupation and defense of Floyde Stadium. For more than 2 weeks they were able to successfully repel near constant incursions into the stadium by a large group of zombies, later tentatively identified as the Church of the Resurrection based on scattered information available at the time. When news of an impending attack on the entire suburb of Barrville by elements of the Ridleybank Resistance Front and the Undying Scourge was discovered, as well as anticipating the overdue modification to the in-game mechanics governing movement within large buildings, the decision was made to move to a more defensible location. Prior to the move to a more active defensive position, Axes High encouraged those survivors who were then staying in Floyde Stadium to find an alternate shelter before the zombie hordes arrived. It is estimated that between 15 and 20 non-aligned survivors were saved from the predations of the Ridleybank Resistance Front and the Undying Scourge as a direct result of this strategic withdrawal.
- February 6, 2006 - In a devastating attack on the stronghold of Axes High by The Ridleybank Resistance Front, much of the Axes High membership was killed in a single attack. Sadly, some of those who fell in combat had just returned from other parts of Malton shortly after answering the call to defend Barrville at all costs. The RRF won this battle. They have not won the war.
- March 15, 2006 - Axes High is still resident within their self-proclaimed home of Barrville and are still taking the fight to the zombie incursions. Their efforts have been heartened by the recent return of one of their members, Maggy Smith, who was missing in action for more than a month and a half. Maggy Smith, as always, can be found offering support to those that need it most.
- April 12, 2006 - Axes High, in the face of increasing pro-zombie vandalism in their home suburb of Barrville, decides that the best way to solve this intolerable situation (and get some fresh air) is to hold a tagging contest throughout the whole of the suburb...
- April 24, 2006 - Mason Wells, a long time member of Axes High, conducts a survey of the suburb of Barrville. Sadly there is little to report other than death and destruction on a massively widespread scale.
- August 18, 2006 - Axes High, Continues to support its chosen suburb of Barrville with dedication.
- November 29 2006- Rumors float about the city that Axes High has left the great city of Malton. I can tell you it is true many have left many more have been lost in the piles of Rotters and bodies. However some still persist fight for you the citizens of Malton. Axes High, Still Swinging.
