The Seam

The Seam is the poorest area of District 12. The Seam lies on the border of District 12, next to the wild forests of the unknown area adjacent to District 13. It is extremely hard to find food in the Seam and many families live in poverty. An adult who lives to be very old is respected and thought of as wise. Early in the morning, the streets of the Seam are crowded with tired and worn-down coal miners heading to work. Everything in this part of the district is covered in a layer of coal dust.
