❝ 150 years ago, the Dark Days came. The uprising of the districts against the Capitol, the shining light or our nation was clouded by war— terrible war. The thirteen districts rebelled against the country that fed them, loved them, and protected them. Their revolt left the country in tatters. Motherless children filled the streets, the land was asunder. After a long struggle, in which many died, there came a hard-won peace. Twelve districts were defeated, the thirteenth obliterated. When the traitors were at last suppressed, we swore as a nation we would never allow such treason again.
Thus was the Treaty of Treason written and signed, providing us with new laws to live by— laws that would guarantee peace. As a yearly reminder that the Dark Days must never come again, it was decreed on the same day each year, the various districts would offer up in tribute one brave young man and one brave young women to fight in a pageant of honor, courage, and sacrifice— The Hunger Games.
The 24 tributes are sent to an outdoor arena, where they struggle to overcome both man and nature, and triumph the odds. Each year, the lone victor serves as a reminder of the nations generosity and forgiveness.
As you all know, every 25 years we like to add in a twist for our courageous tributes, a new challenge for each of them to face.
And so, for this years annual Quarter Quell, we have a very special twist. To represent the loss and separation of our families during the rebellion 150 years ago, this years tributes will be drawn of only siblings to show why our tragic past can never happen again. ❞
