Arena
The Seventy-First Hunger Games took its arena theme from Celtic mythology, giving it a very supernatural vibe only reinforced by the items provided to the tributes. It is notable for the Aibells, or protective spirits, provided to each tribute who survived the bloodbath.
Areas
Cornucopia
As the tributes ascend into the arena, they will at first rise to darkness. For a moment they will remain in their pitch black shoots, enveloped in inky dark. Slowly, it is revealed that they are not in a cave but rather surrounded by velvet curtains. These part simultaneously to reveal the twenty-four tributes arrayed around a wooden stage. In the center is a gleaming Harp, several granite boulders, and all the treasure anyone could want. The Harp chimes the countdown. When it sings its final note, the glass containers are opened for the tributes. The Harp begins to play a ghostly melody, mirroring the tributes’ actions. Deaths in the area:
Bloodbath
- Draco Wellings
Sea Cliffs
Overlooking the black rock beach, steep, rocky cliffs jut out of the ground. Though they are steep, surefooted tributes can find enough handholds to make their way up and down the rock face. It is a long drop to the bottom, however, so tributes are encouraged to be take care when scaling the slick rocks. The high winds and sea spray add an extra layer of difficulty to climbing, and one misstep is all it takes to send even the most careful tributes plummeting to their deaths.
Rolling Hills
As picturesque as any place in past arenas, the rolling hills are an oasis of gently undulating verdant waves. Weeping willows, giant-sized oak and bare birch trees dot the landscape. Small creatures, including rabbits, hedgehogs and badgers nibble at the flora. It is a quiet and peaceful place.
Peat Bog
Patches of decaying vegetation provide a stable path around the muck and creeks of the peat bog. The varied terrain is difficult to cross quickly — one misstep and it's your boot, your foot, your life trapped in the sticky jaws of the arena itself.
Wooded Glen
The Wooded Glen is home to Scots pine, fir and spruce trees. Much colder than the rest of the arena, the Glen always seems to be just one day shy of winter. The trees cluster together along the banks of a gently lapping stream. If you look carefully enough in the brush, you might discover some robust plants. The wind whistles through the trees, kicking up fallen leaves. This area has all the supplies you might need, but you are not the only one looking for something to eat in this cold and grey Glen.
Rock Beach
At the bottom of the sea cliffs, the rough waves of the cold sea meet land on a pile of black stones. Each rock is smooth and round, well-worn by the icy waves — some large as a head, others mere pebbles, and most falling somewhere in between. Between the dreary atmosphere and the dark stones, there is little color to be found on the chilly shore.
Basalt Column Causeway
Rising from the shore and waves like stone titans, the honeycomb towers of basalt dominate the misty seaside. Each column is a near-perfect hexagon, interlocking with its neighbors and reaching towards the sky like some mountain comprised of a child's blocks, perfect for climbing. The peculiar stones stretch into the water, providing a small passage into the sea for those brave enough to see what lies at the end of the gamemakers' brick road...
Sea Cottage
This quaint little stone cottage sits alone on an islet. The thatched roof is in sorry need of repair but the rest of it has been sturdily built. Inside of the thick wooden door, tributes will discover a fully furnished home, complete with a sitting room, kitchen, working bathroom and a king-sized bed in the small but well appointed bedroom. The copper plumbing is in good repair. Tributes may drink from the faucet or take a shower. The back porch has ends in a series of steep wooden stairs. These steps lead down to a dock, from which the tributes can fish.

Timeline
Day 1
Bloodbath
The 71st Bloodbath is notable for only involving one death, that of Draco Wellings, who was instantly killed by a stab to the eye.
After the Bloodbath
The Vandals alliance spotted Paige Hope lagging behind her alliance after fighting a Silver Siren on the Sea Cliffs. Someith Krearns led the attack against the unsuspecting girl from District 8, and Saxton followed up with a stab directly through her throat, instantly killing the girl.
Day 2
Two heated battles took place in the Wooded Glen that day. Despite losing an alliance member in the Bloodbath, Helter Skelter proved nonetheless dangerous as they went straight for Victor Colgate O'Leary's younger sister, felling her quickly and leaving her to bleed out from her wounds as they fled the scene. Meanwhile, the Bagpipe Bitches attacked the allied District Three tributes mercilessly, killing the District 3 female and severing the right arm of the District 3 male before claiming it as their trophy for the fight.
As Hannah O'Leary lay dying, Jequirity Eckhart, who had fled her fight after Odile died, stumbled upon her and gave her a final farewell. Returning to her remaining alliance partner with a medkit, which had been rewarded to her by the Gamemakers, she proposed joining forces with Saxton Hale, whose alliance had disintegrated with the death of Hannah. Despite her guilt over killing their alliance member Paige, Saxton accepts.
Day 3
A full moon rose overhead on this day of the Games, and werewolves were released to prowl the arena, attacking tributes who strayed too far from other alliances. Someith showed his sadistic side as he danced around one of the werewolves, slicing it one cut at a time until it finally collapsed. His former alliance member, Annora, on the other hand, disposed of the werewolf she encountered with a spectacular burst of flame, burning it to ashes. The other group they attacked were not as lucky, however, as the larger pack attacking the RuNTS bit off several tributes' fingers before succumbing.
Nearby on the Sea Cliffs, Cody Bowers-Fox leads his alliance in an attack against the Cat Pack, severing Kitty Keeni's leg. But the injured Keeni ended the fight quickly as he shoved a spear in Leticia Tibideaux's eye, sending the Helter Skelter alliance packing.
On the other side of the arena, the beleaguered Oilliphiésts again ran across the Bagpipe Bitches alliance, which proceeded to taunt them with Leo Everitt's severed arm, hitting their alliance members with it while severing another right arm, this time from District Six's Jequirity Eckhart. Despite being outnumbered, the Oilliphiésts fought back valiantly, and the one-armed Leo Everitt got his revenge as he cleaved off Daria Staite's foot. Angered, Rodrick Benstaloe responds by shoving Leo to the ground and choking him to death with his own arm. The Bagpipe Bitches claim Jequirity's arm as another trophy before fleeing the scene.
