THE HYENAS
"A robber of grave-worms. One who supplies the young physicians with that with which the old physicians have supplied the undertaker. The hyena."
The fact that hyenas share many genetic characteristics with felines, yet exhibit canine behaviour, is perhaps a telling point when it comes to these creatures. They suffer from a poor reputation in both the Shifter community and the media, often depicted as scavengers with no decency or moral values. Many cultures believe the hyena can influence a person's spirit, that they rob graves, and steal livestock and children. To be fair, that isn't too off the mark. There is certainly a larger than average proportion of Shifter hyenas in prison than any other species. With the exception of the highly social Spotted Hyena, hyena Shifters in general are not gregarious animals and will generally stick to their own kind. It's very rare, for example, that a hyena Shifter will mate and produce offspring with a human partner. As a result many of the strains suffer from inbreeding, thus contributing to their poor reputation in the Shifter world.
Hyena shifters live in Clans and it is the social aspects of these groups which set this species apart from the others, as the female members dominate the male. The dominant female is known as the Matriarch. High-ranking members maintain their position through aggression directed against lower-ranking clan members. The hierarchy is also nepotistic; the offspring of dominant females automatically outrank adult females subordinate to their mother. In the wild the Clan's social life revolves around a communal den and this has carried over to their Shifter counterparts, who are known for setting up 'family businesses' or identifying one house as their primary meeting point. Ask a hyena where they came from and you'll get a different answer every time.

TREATY OF TREASON
The Dark Days are dying. It's the final throes of the rebellion. Thirteen districts are on the verge of a crushing Capitol defeat. Muttations run free. Devastating bombings are old news. Food is scarcer than before the war began. Morale is frayed.
![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) treasonmod focuses on the end of the first rebellion in Panem and the birth of The Hunger Games.
This game is based on Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy, and seeks to fill out the world of Panem through the eyes of those involved in presenting the Games.
You know how it ends, but how does it begin?
