Roftwood is a suburb of Malton and located in the east of the city center. It contains Hildebrand Mall as well a rich and abundant mix of Resource Buildings. It lies within District SE-2. Its proximity to Ridleybank (immediately northwest) does make it somewhat hostile territory, but the presence of Hildebrand Mall within the suburb, Woodroffe Mall in Tollyton to the south, Nichols Mall in Stanbury Village to the west, and a healthy portion of Tactical Resource Points make it easy to defend and rebuild during and after incursions.

Visitor's Guide
Welcome to Roftwood!
Greetings visitor, Roftwood has much to offer and we hope you enjoy your visit and hope you stay with us!
The bulk of the activity in Roftwood takes place at and around Hildebrand Mall, where you can find vital supplies such as firearms, ammunition, first-aid kits and generators and also hang out with fellow survivors with an ice-cold beer.
If you are injured, you are advised to go to either Eligius General Hospital or St. Ethelbert's Hospital, where you'll receive medical care from the doctors and surgeons there. Scientists will be able to manufacture revivification syringes, access the NecroTech database and find other useful NecroTech equipment inside both the Herbert Building and the Greenhow Building. Due to the large number of buildings in Roftwood, every resource building is accessible via a free-running lane.
Generators are best found at Hildebrand Mall's hardware store but there are also four factories in the Roftwood that can also be searched. Fuel and spray cans are more available at four Auto Repair shops, the main one of which is Maiden Auto Repair, located just one block northwest of the Herbert Building. Flak jackets and ammunition can be found at Rawlins Row Police Dept, adjacent to the southeast corner of the mall.
If you prefer somewhere quieter than the bustle of Hildebrand Mall and its surrounding complex then you should visit western Roftwood. Western Roftwood serves as Roftwood's defense line due to the three police departments located there, which are optimally spaced from each other. Western Roftwood also has The Greenhow Building (an NT facility) and has an easy access to Nichols Mall in the adjacent suburb of Stanbury Village. Note that the area is usually heavily barricaded and can only be accessed by free running and via specific safehouses and entryways such as Blunden Row School and the Whale Building.
Connecting west Roftwood to the Mall complex are the Summer Building, the Wrench Hotel and an abandoned factory. The Summer Building holds Roftwood's mobile phone mast and therefore is always kept heavily barricaded, however the factory serves as an entryway and should always be accessible by survivors. The Wrench Hotel is the only hotel in Roftwood. It is close to the major buildings in the suburb (only two steps away from Hildebrand Mall and Eligius General Hospital) but it is not a Tactical Resource Point, making it a low-priority target for zombies, and a safe and convenient place to spend the night in.
We hope you enjoy your stay!

Roftwood has peace in the east and war in the west. Zombie leakage from the ruined neighboring suburb of Stanbury Village and it's [[[Nichols Mall]] are causing chaos and destruction for western Roftwood, particularly centered around the Greenhow building.
Survivors in the east are rallying at the Herbert building and dutifully maintaining the revive point at Swansborough Park. The [Hildebrand Mall]] has been under a minor siege since this past Christmas. Survivors are holding onto the mall making quick disposal of any zombie.
The Malton Medical Staff, Quartly Study Group, and Ridleybank Resistance Front are all quite active in Roftwood and are doing a wonderful job making this suburb a fun and interesting place to be.
This has been my monthly briefing. --ZombGG (talk) 00:32, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Recently reclaimed Hildebrand Mall has power and barricades but could use survivor numbers inside. Eastern Roftwood is mostly powered with revive operations running smoothly from the Herbert Building to Swansborough Park. Lastly, zombies are lightly scattered across the suburb with no heavy concentrations in any particular area. --ZombGG (talk) 19:53, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

MMS is struggling in the St Ethelbert's Hospital, lots of patients are in there and they seem to not being too quick on their feet. One patient turned just as they were being treated...There is blood and gore smeared everywhere. The barricades have not been touched. It looked like a victim had scrawled a message in his blood on one of the walls, I inferred that they were accusing the MMS of acting as a catalysis to the disease instead of curing those infected. I recent days my radio has also been warning me about them also claiming that they are a danger to the resistance, saying they should be shot on sight. I barely made it out with my life. I was making my way to Pimbank but I see that what is going on he deserves more attention. --Tess Eks (talk) 14:15, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Notable Events
The Last Stand at St. Ethelbert's Hospital
- January 10th 2008 - January 31st 2008
The Last stand of Roftwood was a battle between the Malton Medical Staff (MMS), Upper Left Corner (ULC) and remaining survivors of Roftwood against the RRF and ferals. After systematically levelling the suburb building by building, the final building left was St. Ethelbert's Hospital, which came to be known as "That damn Hospital that just wont fall". Though the battle was small, the conversation and comedy of the MMS and ULC was what made the event memorable.
Zombie Lectures
- November 15th 2006 - Mar 19th 2007
In the spacious Quartly Library zombies and survivors debated things like zombie spies, strike teams and even love. After months of discussion, the zambahz had taught the harmanz about barhah, and fought for their safehouse like any survivor should.
Ricky Martin Concert
- January 21st 2006
The first ever Ricky Martin concert in Malton took place. The concert began on January 21st at Floyd Stadium in Barrville, according to several fliers and advertisements sprayed on various buildings.
The Survivor Zone
Roftwood is an Eastern district in the SSZ and is one of the main suburbs within the Survivor Security Zone, the SSZ is an area incorporating most of central Malton and was setup to ensure and establish communication between the groups of survivors living in the region to come together to coordinate plans of attacks, campaigns in the hopes of unifying central Malton by working with the individual survivor groups to ensure the protection of the populates as well as a fighting force against the dead. However as of late there has been little conversation making the SSZ initiative seemingly dormant.
Additional Notable Locations
- The Summer Building (64, 55) - Contains a Mobile Phone Mast.
- Moon Way (Edgecombe) (70, 53) - Revive point bordering Roftwood.

Barricade Plan
The Roftwood Barricade Plan is stabilized and is non-UBP compliant. Due to Roftwood's proximity to Ridleybank, overbarricading is common in practice, and some other special cases, such as dark EPs, are commonplace. Please try and rectify any breeches in the barricade plan you encounter (raising and lowering barricades appropriately), unless otherwise indicated because of attack. For details, refer to the Roftwood Barricade Plan or Talk:Roftwood Barricade Plan.
