"In a country where every child is born with a destiny written by the Capitol, defying the system is the most dangerous sentence of all."

The Dominion is a nation divided into twelve districts and a single Capitol, Aurelia, where wealth and power exist at the cost of the misery of millions. Each district was created to serve: some provide jewels, others weapons, energy, or food, but none possess freedom.

Every year, the Harvest Games remind the people who is in control. Young people are torn from their homes and thrown into a deadly arena, transformed into a spectacle to entertain the elite and fuel fear.

Among forbidden forests, coal mines, and fields guarded by soldiers, people emerge who begin to question the rules of a world built on inequality. Buried secrets, unlikely alliances, and impossible choices will call into question everything the Dominion believes to be eternal.

Because empires can be built on fear... but it only takes a single spark to ignite an entire nation.

│ Personality │

Cassian Vale is a disciplined, intelligent, and emotionally reserved young man. Raised in District 2 and trained to serve the Legions of Aurelia, he learned to hide his feelings behind a serious and calculating demeanor. He is extremely determined, loyal to those he trusts, and possesses a strong protective instinct, although he has difficulty showing affection. His distrustful nature causes him to keep others at a distance, observing and analyzing before giving his trust.

▸ SUPREME ARCHIVE · OFFICE OF SHOWS · YEAR 94

The Games of Atonement

Every two years, twenty-four young people enter. One leaves. The rest of the country watches—because it's mandatory. The Games are not entertainment. They are a demonstration of power staged as a festival, a collective execution disguised as a tournament, and the only time all twelve districts look at the same point at the same time.

Origin and purpose

Official Version

Reconciliation Ceremony

Instituted in Year 62 by the Office of Spectacles as "a tribute to the dead of the Great Rift and an annual renewal of the Pact of Harmony." A reminder that the unity of the Dominion cost blood—and that this blood may still be exacted.

Real Function

Instrument of Terror

To demonstrate that the Capitol can take any child from any family. That resistance has a price, young man. That there is no solidarity between districts—because each tribute needs to kill the children of others to survive. The spectacle transforms hatred into audience.

The Lottery — Reaping Day

Official Mechanics

How Tributes Are Selected

Once every two years, all young people aged 12 to 20 in each district have their names entered into a lottery — Reaping Day. The older the young person, the more times their name is entered. There's a catch: it's possible to request extra entries in exchange for a supplementary food allowance — the so-called tessera credit. For hungry families in districts 9–12, this means that poor young people have their names in the ballot box dozens of times while wealthy young people from D1 volunteer.

The paradox of the lottery: it's presented as egalitarian — any name can be drawn. In practice, it's a machine for selecting the poor. An 18-year-old from D12 who has requested tessera since age 12 has their name in the ballot box 52 times. A young person from D1 has their name there only once — and even then, they volunteer before being called.

The Arena

Physical Structure

What is the Arena?

A completely controlled environment, designed by engineers from District 3 for each edition of the Games. It can be a dense forest, a salt desert, a frozen tundra, an underground labyrinth, or any scenario that maximizes tension and spectacle. The only fixed element is the Cornucopia—a central structure filled with weapons, supplies, and traps, positioned at the point of greatest danger.

Technical Control

How the Arena is manipulated

The Office of Spectacles can intervene in real time: release genetically modified animals (mutations), start fires, cause storms, contaminate water sources, or create artificial food shortages. Nothing inside the Arena happens by chance—the narrative script is constructed to maximize audience, not to be fair.

Types of Arenas already used:

Dense Forest;

Cutting vegetation, zero visibility. Favors D7 tributes with field knowledge.

Salt Desert;

Extreme temperature, no cover. Water is the only real weapon. High mortality on the first day.

Freezing Tundra;

Hypothermia eliminates the unprepared in hours. D1 and D2 tributes arrive with cold survival training.

Underground Labyrinth;

Total darkness, toxic gas in random zones. Psychological fear kills before other tributes.

Poisonous Swamp;

Contaminated water, toxic flora. Specifically tested to eliminate rural tributes who rely on the natural environment.

Exposed Plain;

No cover, no shelter. Absolute favoritism for D1 and D2 tributes: total visibility favors brute force.

The Fatal Asymmetry — Victories by District Group

In 32 editions of the Games of Atonement, the distribution of victories reveals what the regime would never admit: the Games are not a competition. They are a scripted execution with suspense.

D1 and D2 — Trained Volunteers

19 victories (59%)

D3 to D8 — Middle Districts

11 victories (34%)

D9, D10 and D11 — Poor Districts

2 victories (6%)

D12 — The most miserable

2 victories (0.6%)*

*Both victories in D12 are considered "statistical anomalies" by the Cabinet — which did not prevent the winners from being used as propaganda "proof that anyone can win".

Rules, Manipulations, and the Role of Sponsors

Sponsors

How Money Enters the Arena

Citizens of the Capitol and privileged districts can bet on and sponsor favorite tributes—sending supplies (food, medicine, weapons) via drones during the Games. The cost of items increases exponentially as the Games progress. A tribute from D12 without a famous mentor never gets enough sponsors. Tributes who are beautiful, charismatic, or who tell a good story on camera receive more support—the spectacle rewards those who entertain, not those who deserve it.

Office Interventions

When the Games Get "Boring"

The Office of Spectacles monitors viewership in real time. If ratings drop, they intervene: releasing mutations (genetically modified animals with an instinct to hunt humans), starting fires, creating toxic gas zones, or eliminating water sources to force confrontation. In two documented cases, the Office manipulated the terrain to protect a specific tribute considered "more profitable" in terms of sponsorship.

Official Rules of the Games

Rule Description Real-world Application

One Winner Only one tribute can survive and be declared the winner. Flexible — already modified once due to audience pressure.

No Escape No tribute can leave the Arena's boundaries without being killed by the electrified fences. Absolute — escape attempts are punished with immediate death.

Mandatory Broadcast All districts must watch. Turning off the television during the Games is a punishable offense. Absolute — Guardians patrol the streets during the broadcasts.

Volunteering Any eligible young person can volunteer to replace the chosen one. Asymmetrical — common practice in D1/D2, rare sacrifice in others.

Prize for the Winner The winner and their district receive extra rations for one year. Symbolic — irrelevant for D1. For D12, it can be literally vital.

What the Games actually produce:

There's no way two districts can unite against the Capitol while their children kill each other every two years. The Games of Atonement are, above all, a machine for destroying solidarity—and the most perfect instrument of control the Dominion has ever created. As long as the districts mourn their dead with anger at the other districts, and not at the Capitol, the regime is safe.
