Vault

The ILB Historical Preservation Site (commonly referred to as the Vault) is a location where Players and Items are sent to be Preserved by the Historian, and is also the home Ballpark of the Vault Legends. It was first referred to in the Based Evolution text in . Fans could Navigate to it during , where it was located at (1, 1). It is related to Blaseball 2, but the specifics of the connection are unknown.
==Overview==
The Vault is managed by as part of their job as the Historian. Any player that is Preserved is put into the Vault with the Modification, where they remain for a presumably infinite amount of time and can no longer be acted upon by Fans. Any attempts to remove a player from the Vault via non-sanctioned methods (such as preemptive Wills) instead produces a Replica. However, this does not mean it is completely impossible to escape - and players can Roam out of the Vault as demonstrated by Parker MacMillan, and the Vault Swap Blessing in allowed a Player to be swapped with a random Preserved player.
As a Ballpark, the Vault notably has very low Fortification and very high Mysticism, promoting Weather and Modification activation within it. Additionally, it has the modifications , , and , all of which combined to create a different scenario every inning during the Semi-Centennial.
