In recent reports, there has been a spate of food, or rather drink poisoning cases in Midgaard. The main victims of these crimes have been the vast majority of vampires residing in the city of Midgaard and this has resulted in numerous complaints written in to A.L.I.V.E, the Association of the Living-dead Including all Vampric Entities. Clerics in the city have reported a significant increase in the number of vampire patients. Blood drives to supplement supplies of clean blood have been organised.
