Salmon Spire

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

The Salmon Spire is a landmark in Seattle, Washington composed of a swirling, towering mass of Immateria roughly in the proportions of a skyscraper, filled with salmon, consumers, and other forms of life. The Salmon Spire appeared around the end of Season 22, when Garage members Lenjamin Zhuge and Fairwood Patchwork found the foundation for the skyscraper and relocated Zhuge’s sustainable fishing operation to it. When the plot owners alleged this was land theft, Zhuge argued that land could not be owned, and since immateria salmon are a protected species, this was their home now. Rogue construction builders attempted to build around the immateria, but would return the next day to see all their work undone by the salmon swimming upstream. That in combination with the fact that entities outside of blaseball are unable to interact with forces of the immateria, they had no choice but to relent. Since then, the immateria levels have risen to enormous heights, while maintaining the dimensions of the original foundation. Zhuge cites a research trip to the mysterious other dimension known as Shark Seattle for the technology allowing the Spire to maintain its gravity defying structure. On nice days, salmon can be seen swimming in tornado like vortices and darting between the various mysterious plants within. On clear Seattle evenings, Zhuge themself can occasionally be found swimming among the salmon. They claim this is for monitoring their health and checking on immateria levels, but reports of them leaving with a fish in their mouth suggest otherwise.

Surrounding the structure is a plethora of fir trees, ferns, and other greenery. Parking near the Salmon Spire for longer than 24 hours is not recommended, as vehicles left unattended for too long are reclaimed by the plants.

A small hole rests at the bottom of the structure which connects to the Salmon Section of the Big Garage, which is a large aquatic feature set in right field for the salmon to interact with salmon weather. When Zhuge set about constructing the Salmon Section, they had intended it to be a standalone venture, but the next day they returned to find the tunnel in place. Whether this was constructed by the salmon themselves or the Big Garage remains a mystery. Zhuge is happy about the addition nonetheless, as the two sustain each other, the weather providing more salmon for the farm, and the farm allowing the salmon weather more fish for the Stream.
