'''Rolt Heights''' is a [[suburb]] of [[Malton]], located in the northeast section of the city. | '''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. | ||

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. | 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.

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 pubs, the Burchell Arms, the Gold Monument, Mare Towers, the The Riddell Museum, and the adjoining IMAX Fanning Cinema. Rolt Heights is considered by many survivors to be a somewhat undesirable piece of real estate in post-epidemic Malton due in no small part to its complete lack of NecroTech 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 syringes. Zombie density is somewhat higher here than in neighboring suburbs for this very reason.

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.

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.
