A Bit About Our Lands
Lamport Hills is a suburb of Malton on the border of the high Moorlands located in the northern section of the city. Lamport Hills contains the eastern half of the Southall Mansion, and its people call themselves Lamportians. Before the quarantine, Lamport had a small population and was a very rural area with small farms. Additionally, it sported various hunting lodges at the edge of the mountains. Later, the suburb developed with the times, but still keeps elements of its tradition with old pubs, schools, and some ancient houses. Lamportians try to keep to Lamport traditional by only venturing into other suburbs for uncommon items.

October 2008
All is quiet. Apart from the constant tap tap tapping on our main door it seems that the zeds are away. Which worries me. No scout reports of recent...infact I've heard nothing for a while. We seemed to have got the attention of a group of zombies who once a week try to break into the Arms but...to no avail, they are beaten back. I wonder what will come of Lamport Hills over the next year...
The weathers icy again. I sent out orders throughout the Eastern part of Lamport to our faithful citizens to conserve their fuel supplies and not happily burn it away to keep warm. The cold killed more then the zeds were responsible for last winter. I sit here with a pile of books at my side. I recieved them from the knights two years ago. I must have read them many times. It keeps the mind active.
We're nearly out of beer at the Arms. Spirits are nearly out. We've resorted to moonshine and are growing potatoes on the roof jsut to tryand make vodka. Dikki says he knows how...we doubt him. One of the Communist Marines is back in Lamport. Its caused quite a stir politcally but behind closed doors its always good to see old comrades. Im so conscious of the temperature dropping. Outside of Lamport I'm sure Englands cities are preparing for yet another Christmas...we sometimes get the odd radio broadcast from out of the city before the Military cut it off. I'm sure they taunt us.
Theres that damn be blasted banging on the door again.'' --St Rafty 15:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Lamport Hills is currently in a state of confusion. Zed levels are moderatly low with only minor break ins in uninhabited districts of the suburb been barely noticed let alone reported to the various groups.
Dead Dudes under Dikki and St Rafty have begun to re-organise slowly and are starting to reclaim the East of Lamport to try and some way unite the survivors in the district and orgnaise them so they can better defend their own safe houses.
The Smith Arms regulars still have a nominal number of core players and seem to keep the mobile mast and Martha operational with continuin success.
Resource buildings are rarely garrisoned denying the zeds their food. Though this is more down to coincidence then any survivor planning.
Zed forces appear feral in nature and dispersed. It seems that all of Lamport is recovering from its last going over by the zeds. --St Rafty 22:55, 25 October 2008 (BST)
