Dunell Hills is a suburb of Malton built by wealthy Malton business leaders between 1880 and 1920, located in the west of the city. The district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is also listed in the Undead Public Records of Commerce and Business. Copies can be found in the back of the Dury Building.
Resting on the very outskirts of Malton, the Hills was a small community that had generally kept to itself. The suburb supported several clinics and research hospitals and as such had a brisk medical trade in the area.
The suburb contains only one NecroTech facility: the Dury Building. It does, however, boast an impressive 6 hospitals, as well as 3 police stations, 3 factories and an Auto Shop. Dunell Hills is also home to historical site Club Meade -- one of the more famous RP bars in Malton -- when the suburb is not in zombie hands.
Hometown to the DHPD the "Hills" are also infamous as the birthplace of mega horde The Dead and site of bitter rivalry between the two that has destroyed much of the town's infrastructure and former reputation as a safezone for survivors.

A Brief History of Dunell Hills After the Outbreak
Dunell Hills, a small quiet community that had always kept to itself, rests on the very outskirts of Malton. It was during a town meeting at Godsland Street School that the quarantine of the area was instituted and as such the local population could not organize themselves before they were practically decimated by various waves of zombies that swept through the suburb.
After the initial chaos and bloody slaughter a group calling itself the Dunell Hills Police Department, after the city's pre-outbreak police force and formed from remnants of emergency services, military, and survivor militia, established this suburb as the heart of the Dunell Military Zone, in what eventually became 6 borough region which they have pledged to patrol and defend.
Since the Fall of Caiger Mall, Dunell Hills has often been a very dangerous suburb, at certain points completely devoid of life. This was initially caused when many of the zombies drawn to Caiger Mall chose to remain in the region; since then local survivors have been under almost constant siege -- including fierce battles with Extinction in 2007 and the arrival en masse of The Dead in 2008, the latter having vowed never to permit survivors to reside in Dunell Hills again.
The Dead, in fact, succeeded in making Dunell Hills a wasteland from November 2007 to September 2008. Although there were several concerted attempts by different survivor groups to retake the suburb during this time, none of these incursions met with more than transitory and limited success. At the end of this period, repair costs averaged around 50 AP, with some buildings in the high 90s. However, the latter half of September 2008 saw the DHPD, the Crimson Clan, the Malton Rangers and other survivors move back into the 'Hills', establishing a stable survivor "beachhead" for the first time in over a year. The Dead returned in mid-October and the two sides engaged in a bloody battle which resulted in the DHPD being pushed out of the suburb by November 2008; the area was subsequently placed into a state of ruin once again; ever since that period the suburb has continued to change hands on an almost constant basis.
The current state of Dunell Hills is in flux, and may always be -- with victories large and small for both sides, and the major local groups continuing to make Dunell Hills a constant and sometimes violent battleground.

The situation has finally stabilized - however, not in the favor of the living. After a month and a half of difficult fighting, all survivor presence has been pushed out of Dunell Hills. Today's tour showed no buildings left unruined and no signs of survivor presence. Counted more than 70 zombies on the streets in small groups. Survivors are advised to consider DH to be very dangerous. --Tempest56 08:53, 10 November 2010 (EST)

Several tours across the area through the last month have revealed extremely heavy fighting. Several survivor groups have pushed into the area in force, and multiple buildings are rebuilt. However, zombie presence/organization has also significantly increased, and keeping buildings up and active is a challenge - particularly resource buildings. An accounting of what is and isn't currently up is unhelpful, as most locations that are rebuilt are reruined within 24 hours. Both sides are currently very active, and this suburb should be considered very dangerous. --Tempest56 01:55, 31 October 2010 (EDT)

October 4th
Signs of a major survivor incursion into the area along the east side of the suburb. Several buildings are rebuilt, rebarricaded and even lit! Dury is still down, but the historical Club Meade is up and running for the first time in what may be years. Barricade levels and the scope of rebuilding suggest the work of at least a dozen coordinated survivors, and several DHPD members were spotted in the area. However zombie presence is also on a sharp rise, with ~45 spotted from the street and they appear to be starting to cluster up into groups. Suburb appears to be going hot again. Will repatrol in a week to verify the situation. --Tempest56 09:24, 4 October 2010 (EDT)

Today's pass revealed signs of another push into the suburb. Several buildings in the NW have been rebuilt and rebarricaded, including Cotty PD, St. Luke's church, and both Stephen and Catherine hospitals. Barricading levels are moderate but survivable. Zombie presence on the street was ~30 in singles and pairs. Will repatrol in a few days to see if the new push holds. --Tempest56 10:10, 23 September 2010 (EDT)

Another routine patrol. Much the same results. Only sign of survivor presence was the Pettman Museum, which was only loosely barricaded when I passed by. Counted ~40 zombies in singles or pairs that were visible from the street. Area definitely survivor-unfriendly. --Tempest56 22:22, 1 September 2010 (EDT)
