Hellmouth

The Hellmouth is a location on the Moon. Inhabited by the Hive, it is a fortress cored deep within the moon. The Hellmouth features an inner sanctum, gatehouse, and dungeons that are located in the depths of the fortress, imprisoning the Hive's most fearsome denizens.

The Hellmouth's many underground passages reach far and deep into the Moon; besides the main entrance through the gatehouse, it also has tunnels connected to the Temple of Crota, Archer's Line, and Anchor of Light.

Trivia
From a design standpoint, the Hellmouth is meant to evoke feelings of scale, menace, mystery, darkness, evil, strength, militarism, and the exotic without coming across as being too alien. Its imagery is meant to invoke feelings of Medieval/Gothic architecture.
