COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Hellmouth is a small town in the desert of Utah, given its name by its position on the edge of the Hellmouth. The town is home to the Hellmouth Sunbeams.

Description

Hellmouth is considered to be one of the least habitable cities to host a blaseball team due to its arid climate, connection to Hell, and numerous teeth — by and large, Hellmouth is inhospitable to most living beings. It is not clean or safe, and its attempts to lure people towards it are actively opposed by the Hellmouth Anti-Tourism Board who make sure Hellmouth is not welcoming to anyone (except for maybe JEFF!). This is no easy task, since the Hellmouth region of eastern Utah is widely known for its National Plarks and outdoor recreation areas.

When Hellmouth formed, all written references to Moab, Utah were replaced with references to Hellmouth instead, with the resulting documents and signage appearing to be designed and spaced properly for the altered text. Certain references to Moab have been destroyed via burning instead, although it is still unclear why some were destroyed and some were replaced.

Culture

Hell's Best SumBeans

Presence next to the Hellmouth has encouraged the development of a unique culture in the town, particularly in response to shared experiences such as Adaptation and the Tug. The community is mostly self-sufficient, with strong interpersonal ties necessary to allow survival in the hostile environment. Money is unheard of in the local environment, relying instead on a bartering system. This may explain how certain members of the Hellmouth Sunbeams have achieved credit scores previously considered impossible.

Lack of economy has not slowed down local industry, which has taken advantage of the new opportunities, and spawned various local delicacies, the most famous of which are Hell's Best SumBeans and SUNN light.

A number of traditions have arisen within the tight-knit community. Community events such as the creation of a new Outback Steakhouse are always well attended. Non-Hellmouth residents are asked to please not travel to Hellmouth for the purpose of attending community events, such as the upcoming Hellmouth market day, hosted in The Solarium's parking lot. Many traditions take advantage of the unique environment, such as the practice of climbing teeth to watch the sunrise, cutting smaller teeth down to keep in a home and decorate, and using mini-mouths (small temporary Hellmouths) as a form of garbage disposal.

There is a strong legal tradition, with certain high profile legal cases being hosted in the Bone and Tooth courts, to take advantage of the loose legal structure. Many students of Hellmouth Community College choose to major in law, although a variety of other subjects are available, such as Evil Math. If a particularly desired course is not available, students are advised to sign up as a lecturer and teach it themselves. This system explains the existence of a Russian Literature course, taught by Howell Franklin.

Residents

Local historian Milo N. J. Cooper has been cataloguing Hellmouth residents and their experiences in the town for many years, in order to preserve a record of this unique community. Their profiles of residents are presented in a monthly newsletter. This time, the Interdimensional Rumor Mill reveals a Resident from IF-96.191 out of its Resident Registry...

Kallerin Aquila was a meteorite that hit the outskirts of the town, near the Hellmouth. Star awoke a long time ago when they were given life due to the adaptation they received from exposure to the Hellmouth. They're a translucent star-like being. You can't quite make out what star physically look like. It's like if a nebula looked vaguely humanoid and had clothes on. Their physicality varies from time to time. After years, they've come to learn and study about the various geographical wonders of the Hellmouth Region. They pursued a higher education, and graduated from Hellmouth Community College. Star got employed as a geography professor there, and started working on their goal. They wanted to closely chart and map out the Hellmouth Region and the unique adaptations it causes on the flora and fauna around it. Stars base of operations is in the town of Hellmouth but star regularly set out to areas star plan to explore.

Outside of traveling and their research, Aquila works as a geography professor at Hellmouth Community College. They've been teaching there since they've graduated. Aquila enjoys baking, namely bread and muffins. They play the violin and have been considering on joining a group but they don't feel like they're quite there yet. Star don't really do much around town. Aside from their job and personal exploits, they're a bit of a wallflower. Aquila much enjoys just taking walks and taking in the liveliness of the city. They enjoy watching people coming and going, doing their daily errands, meeting up, etc. This is why you'll mostly find star either by the Hellmouth Falls or at Arches National Plark enjoying the scenery and meditating.
