The Society of The Lost Games

About 250 years ago, in those early decades after The Great Cataclysmic Event, the world’s few remaining people established a regime to maintain political and moral authority. This regime was called The Society. The survivors of The Event established The Society in order to retain some feeling of order and function in the new world they found themselves in - one that was otherwise chaotic and barbaric.
   Initially, the creation of The Society was a gesture that had more impact symbolically than for any action it carried out. In a remarkably short time however the world again became civilized and comfortable. The Society then found itself at the head of a people that relied upon it, and not just as a symbol. It began to play a more active governing role. Thanks to The Society a modern healthcare system was established and the education of the survivors’ descendants became regulated. The Society also established an economy and performed all the functions that we have come to expect from a government.
   After a time, The Society also began to fund arts, history, and science programs that were not directly connected to the immediate needs of the people. Their desire was to build a cultural identity for the young state. Amongst the programs founded were The Society of The Arts, The Society of Science and of course, The Society of History. The support of these programs gave its people a cultural identity, particularly the emerging evidence The Society of History provided about our pre-cataclysmic-event ancestors. Even then the world was fascinated by The Lost Games and a subsidiary of The Society of History was set up to look purely into this area. The true history of The Lost Games is a promise of harmony and a beacon to all people.
   The Games inspired people to work hard and to contribute as members of The Society. But when that government was taken over by cruel despots The Lost Games inspired revolution. A new democratic government was established with the signing of the Peoples’ Declaration, and anything to do with The Society was dismantled.
   Despite the Peoples’ Declaration being written on principles inspired by the kind of utopia represented by The Lost Games, much of the research by the original Society Of The Lost Games is now lost. Many of its members were imprisoned as sympathisers with The Society, and tried on propaganda charges.
   Although the people now had democracy, much of the infrastructure had been lost in the revolution and dismantling of The Society. There was no longer any state support for culture. Members of The Society of The Lost Games who had escaped imprisonment continued to meet in secret to share their love of The Lost Games. This group began to grow in members and popularity and as the new government became less paranoid: The Society Of The Lost Games again became a public entity.
   It is hard to believe that such unrest lays so recently in our history and that The Society of The Lost Games has survived all of it.

Today The Society of The Lost Games is patronised by government and supported by academics and has more members than ever. Remember, if you are passionate about The Lost Games, join The Society Of The Lost Games.
