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.

Culture

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.

A number of local 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 Sigmund Castillo open day. 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 Illegal Physics. 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-6.2931 out of its Resident Registry...

Science Harper is one of the current delegates of the Hellmouth Anti-Tourism Board. It is not known how long Harper has resided in the Hellmouth area, but it has been a member of the Board since its inception.

Prior to their employment by the Board, Harper worked for Intrlepid Potash, Inc. overseeing portions of the potash mining process at the Potash Ponds. While Intrlepid suddenly abandoned the operation in the summer of 20XX, Harper’s dedication to the evaporation ponds has prevented it from doing the same. It is unknown if this is because of their Adaptation, which has led to part of their body crystallizing into a material chemically identical to sylvinite, or if perhaps it was their dedication that led to an adaptation like this.

Harper is by far the most vocal member of the Anti-Tourism Board arguing against Potash Ponds Mesa’s status as a state park, working directly with multiple lawyers and even testifying on behalf of the Anti-Tourism Board.

It declined comment on the goggled individuals seen at the Ponds.
