Dulston is a suburb of Malton, located in the northeast corner of the city.

Before the outbreak, Dulston was a relatively peaceful suburb with a booming textile industry and several NecroTech buildings where new employees were trained. The suburb's main attraction happened to be Treweeke Mall, which frequently lured shoppers from the surrounding suburbs. During the outbreak, Dulston was deserted and most of its inhabitants were to be evacuated by a military convoy. However, military sources outside of Malton report that the convoy never arrived. It was assumed to be lost, with the evacuees joining the ravenous undead or scattered throughout the city.

Dulston possesses a high concentration of resource buildings, including four NecroTech facilities, three hospitals and five police departments. This has contributed to its lasting strategic importance. Other locations of interest include St. Barbara's Church (98,2), Troubridge Cinema (99,0), the Pepperell Museum (91,4), Parrott Towers (94,4), and the ghost-haunted Caffin Library (95,9).

The Dulston Alliance, an organization formed from various survivor groups in the suburb, have promised to defend Dulston to the last man.

Dulston is also sometimes referred to as New Baghdad by a PKer group, DORIS.

Revive Points


Revive Points

Revive points have been set up at Duport Avenue (92,4), and Hamerton Road (98,1). Hamerton Road fluctuates as a revive point, due to zombies with Brain Rot taking over now and then plus the sporatic operational status of the Beale Building and the Trood Building. As such, Duport Avenue remains the most reliable place to be revived. Also undead survivors seeking revival should be aware that some survivors groups have taken it upon themselves to reduce the number of standing zombies at any given revive spot whenever there are 15 or more. This has become common practice in light of past sneak attacks orchestrated by zombie groups who choose to hide in plain sight at these locations pretending to seek revival while in actuality they are gathering their forces for assaults on survivor strongholds within Dulston.

It should also be mentioned that, while not a sanctioned revive point for Dulston's larger groups, the cemetery (99,2) located just south of the Trood Building is considered by some survivors to be a revive point due to the Sacred Ground Policy. Of course due to the jaded history of cemeteries within Malton, and the violent nature of the northeast corner of Dulston, getting a revive at the cemetary requires both good timing and a little luck.

Mobile Phone Mast

Dulston's Phone Mast is situated at Parrott Towers (94,4). The group FOXHOUND has claimed responsibility for the mast's daily maintenance and defense. The Electric Light Torchestra has also included the building in both routes covered by their enlightenment-tours

August 23rd

Zombies continue to run amok in the Northeast part of Dulston with little response from survivors gather in the South. St. Barbara's Church and Nott Auto Repair was completely ruined. The Much Arms and Anne General Hospital breached, but still hold up. The zombie horde also employs human agents - using them to spread propaganda through graffiti, and retuning radio transmitters around the area to 28.01 MHz, the SPAM channel, instead of 26.36 MHz of the Dulston Alliance, to cut of mass communication preventing the call for help. -- Kittithaj 14:50, 23 August 2008 (BST)

Actually that's not us. Pkers and other such people maybe but defintately not the Swarm or any of our allies at the moment. --Rjkk 00:40, 24 August 2008 (BST)

August 22nd

The Trood NT facility (along with several other buildings in the NE corner) fell to a mob of zombies yesterday, and the Beale NT is currently wide open. There have been several survivor casualties, along with a few more residents who were forcibly evicted from the premises for failing to pay their rent. Payment will be collected, however, in live brains! But not before bolstering Dulston's already large mass of homeless street dwellers... --WanYao 07:03, 22 August 2008 (BST)

August 21st

Still problems in North East Dulston. The new news is the pker force that just burst into the scene. Met Fan 04:23, 22 August 2008 (BST)

August 18th

Survivors had only a few days to celebrate before the zombies returned in full force. The Troubridge Cinemawas ruined once again. Next, The Trood Building was torn open by a group of about ten zombies -- about half a dozen of which still remain inside. --WanYao (with additional information from Kittithaj) 02:16, 19 August 2008 (BST)

August 15th

After recent requests solicited no response, the following group links have been removed from the suburb.

If any of these groups are still active, please add them again. --Adavastor 19:21, 15 August 2008 (BST)

August 13th

Survivors sleeping on the streets in the area around Treweeke Mall. --JaredTalk W! P! 02:47, 14 August 2008 (BST)

Survivors are sleeping in the streets all over Dullston. And getting eaten up by the young, upwardly mobile zambahz every singe day. It's normal. --WanYao 03:35, 14 August 2008 (BST)
The main reason why many survivors end up resting outside is because of overbarricading of entry points and public buildings such as hospitals. Unfortunately this is far too common in Dulston. The only thing we can do is to educate people. -- Kittithaj 15:12, 14 August 2008 (BST)
The cause of this homelessness problem has been attributed by some survivor spokespeople as the result of an almost pathologically obsessive over-barricading of resource buildings and other entry points. This phenomenon, known as "Fiddler's Green Syndrome", has been observed by sociologists studying human interactions inside Malton's unique, and uniquely isolated, urban milieu. It -- quite paradoxically -- occurs most commonly in suburbs with the highest survivor-to-zombie ratios. The most successful treatment found to date involves massive pre-frontal lobotomisation. Such procedures are best conducted by professionals in possession of medical Barhahlauriates obtained from certified educational institutions. (Miskatonic University is a noted leader in this field.) --WanYao 04:22, 15 August 2008 (BST)

August 5th

With the brave effort of Dulstonian survivors, the Trood Building and St. Barbara's Church was retaken. Only Troubridge Cinema remains in the hand of the dead. Zombie horde are waiting in the dark and ruined building. And it will require another considerable effort to take them out. -- Kittithaj 14:24, 5 August 2008 (BST)

As of now, Troubridge is back in survivor hands, thanks to the dedicated efforts of the same survivors who retook Trood. --Kikashie Read the Dispatch! 22:30, 12 August 2008 (BST)

Dulston - More than just a tourist location!

A large portion of this suburb's violent history since the outbreak has been associated with the many survivor, zombie, and death cult groups vying for control. Historically Dulston has shown a tendency towards maintaining a relatively low number of zombies, but a higher than average number of PKers wandering through its streets. This combination of zombie and PKer attraction has led to the creation of one of the more proactive supergroups in Malton history, the Dulston Alliance. In an interesting twist, the suburb is actually stronger away from the border rather than near it, as a large block of empty streets runs up the center, dividing the west half (which features such landmarks as Treweeke Mall, the Whitlock Building, the Bridgeman Building, and multiple factories and warehouses) from the east (which features two of Dulston's three hospitals, the Trood and Beale buildings, and the suburb's only cemetery). Also of note is the surprising block of police stations on the northern border. This varied distribution of resources often leads to the far northeast corner being ruined and full of zombie hordes, as majority of survivors congregate at Treweeke in the southwest and the response time from there to the corner is considerable.

If one factor has remained constant it is that even after the fall of Treweeke Mall to Mall Tour '06/'07 and the Big Bash, the invasion of DORIS and the RRF, survivor groups have continued to mobilize in the surburb's defense; taking on different responsibilities throughout Dulston by forming the Dulston Alliance. As a result, Dulston has become one of the safer locations within Malton for survivors seeking safe haven. Since Mall Tour '07, Dulston has become the de facto capitol suburb of Free Zone North.

The Dulston Alliance, a united organization formed from the suburb's various survivor groups, has promised to defend Dulston to the last man.

Things to do while in Dulston

  • Shop 'Til You Drop! - Looking for that special something that might help keep you alive? Then why not drop by Treweeke Mall; where prices are so low we're practically giving everything away! So shop around or just hang out for a few days. Is there a limit to how long you can roam our halls and shops? Nope. Stay around long enough and become official "mall rats"! We really couldn't care less. Or more! But be sure to always remember, whatever you need you'll be sure to find it here, at the mall.
  • Stay Current With Current Events! - Visit the Naisbitt Building, official printing house of the Dulston Dispatch, Dulston's first and only newspaper! Inside you'll find amazing things such as, but not limited to: Stacks upon stacks of blank paper, drums full of ink, and an industrial size printing machine! Great fun for most of the family. Issues are printed out weekly and sell at the reasonable price of free!
  • A Funny/Religious/Cult Experience! - Pilgrimage to Troubridge Cinema in order to gain wisdom from the Night of the Living Dead (now playing) and then travel to St. Barbara's Church to seek enlightenment from the Survivor Saints. Recently refurbished by DvB and Ragnarok members, with the addition of RvB movies. Have some oreos and imitation 7-UP!
  • Games, Alcohol, & Good Times! - Survivors are invited by the survivor group, Dead vs Blue, to stop by Downe Towers so they can join in on some Halo/Halo 2/Halo 3, drink some beers, and debate about which pistol you prefer to use against the proverbial "Flood" (i.e. zombies).
  • Learn How to Drive! - Forgot how to drive? Think driving would be an amazing way for getting around zombie-infested Malton? Course you do! So come on down to Crazy Ed's Driving School and learn how to drive... possibly.
  • NOT Haunted, So Read a Book! - Come visit the very cheerful Caffin Library and be sure to stay the night. Rumors of survivors being found horribly mutilated are exaggerated, because seriously, what kind of survivor doesn't get horribly mutilated at least once while in Malton? You'll be fine. Relax.
  • Enjoy Grea- err, "Edible" Food! - McZeds' Dulston branch is located at the old Nott Auto Repair building, which is conveniently found at [98,3].
  • Eat the Homeless! - Dulston is famous Malton-wide for its street people! Whether they sleep outside by choice or by circumstance, there are almost always a few (dozen!) hobos squatting on Dulston's sidewalks, silently beseeching passersby for a spare heal or two. Sure, they're a bit smelly... but a brain's a brain... gnam gnam...

Barricade Policy

The D.D.D.S originally compiled the Dulston Optimal Defense Diagram back in 2005. This diagram is designed to serve as a specific barricade layout for the entire suburb during regular day-to-day operations. Of course in times of siege or intense suburb-wide zombie attacks, survivors are advised to retreat to Treweeke Mall and follow the Dulston Alliance Emergency Plan.
