The Half Blood population has been infected with a vicious virus that turned them into the living dead replenishing the Undead forces. All Half Bloods have been exterminated by the virus leaving behind only the True Blood population. The races have come together to specialize and brought back Personalities to fill the void left by the Half Bloods extinction to fend off the Undead invasion. Unfortunately, the Halfling race bore the brunt of the invasion and were the first to be forced to retreat from Utopia leaving behind their Gnome brethren.
