THE ROYAL FAMILY

The Royal Family are the leadership of Elysium. They are excempt from The Game, allowed to have multiple litters, and they are the only ones who know the truth behind the city.

What is that truth? Simply this - that life outside the city, is not the disastrous danger zone as Elysium claims. It is the reason no cat is allowed in or out. The Game is used to keep the city under control, threatening them with a death game, and promising great riches to the winner. The winners of these games are only allowed to know the truth after they have been crowned, as the Victor's crowns all have the ability to paralyze a cat, or kill them should they disobey. The Royal Family's kittens are taught the truth after they turn 21 and are given a mate.

For those born into the Royal Family, they have very regal names. A Victor is not re-named upon joining the family, to remind them of their roots.
