'''T'''he current whereabouts of | '''K'''nown to locals as the ancestral home to the Pitman family; for centuries it employed the locals of Quarlesbank in its service. It had been rumored that the current Lord Pitman had dabbled in the occult and slowly stories of employees disappearing started to be heard. Some say that the zombie plague originated from this place, but no one can be sure. | ||
'''T'''he current whereabouts of Lord Pitman are unknown which has led to many stories that, if they are to be believed, he willingly gave himself over to the horde that he supposedly commanded. | |||

'''Survivor Tales''' | |||
'''I'''t is rumoured that deep in the Pitman Mansion, there is a grand door on which are etched the words Incunabula Proprii (birthplace of the Special One). It is hard to know whether or not there is any truth to this rumour for not many have walked the zombie-infested halls of the Mansion. It is, however, thought to be true by a number of groups within Malton. | |||
'''A'''mong them are those that believe that Lord Pitman now haunts the Mansion as a type of super zombie. Others believe that this is the final proof that Lord Pitman was indeed the creator of the zombie menace and that the birthplace of the Special One refers to laboratories that created the zombies that now roam the streets of Malton. | |||
'''I'''n this deserted and ravaged city, it is perhaps not surprising that rumors that would be thought laughable in this day and age survive here. The sights of our brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers living in undeath and tearing each other limb from limb would challenge even the harshest skeptic.<br><br> | |||
