Monolith

The Monolith, which tributes can encounter on their way from the Cornucopia to the lifeless northwester region, is not overly impressive. In a way this tall rock reminiscent of last year's pillars, except that there's only one and it's a fair bit bigger. A single grey rock, taller than any of the tributes, it holds no clear purpose; the cover it grants is scant, the land around it is bare, and the rock itself is plain and hard. Perhaps it's a landmark for some strange mutt; maybe it's a disguised Capitol weapon; for all the tributes know, it could be an alien ship's landing point. Whatever it is, it's in the Arena, so it can't be good news.
