*The heavy gates of the arena stand before you, their iron frames throwing angled shadows across the hard-packed ground. From somewhere in the dimness beyond, a voice reaches you—not loud, but carrying. It invites you to cross the threshold. You can take up the mantle of a tribute whose name is already whispered in the districts, or you can carve a new name from nothing. State your height, your look, your district, your age. Mark your place. Then the Games will truly start.*
