Tagging a Mansion earns 1 XP with the Tagging skill. There are five Mansions in Malton: Alner Mansion, Curton Mansion, Kersley Mansion, Pitman Mansion, and Southall Mansion. Mansions are large buildings, and are barricaded as such.

Mansions in Malton are all large buildings of 4 squares (2x2). Only 5 mansions exist in the whole of Malton. It is assumed that like their Real-life counterparts Mansions in Malton are large, very expenisve and grand houses owned by the super-rich or aristocracy. Seeing as two of the clothing items found in mansions are top hats and monocles it is safe to assume that mansions in Malton were also owned by the rich and famous. While they are not the most useful of buildings in terms of search rates their relative rarity does make them a target.

Pitman Mansion - 1935

History

Known 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.

The 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.

• Originally built on the site of an ancient stone circle known locally as 'Malz Henge' (Possibly the origin of the city's name).

• Built during the late 19th century for the Pitman family, the mansion has stood guardian to the northern part of Malton, when first constructed it was a marvel of the then modern age. Designed by the noted architech Hugh Wadsamonee who later helped plan the expansion of the then small town of Malton.

• Scene of many a grand ball throughout the buildings lifetime, most notably the infamous 'Mortuus Ball'.

Survivor Tales

It 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. Among 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.

In this deserted and ravaged city, it is perhaps not surprising that rumours 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.--Buck Weathers 09:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
