The Goblin Sigil for altman
altman exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.
The goblin board's investment thesis on altman runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.

The Goblin Verdict on altman
The Goblin Council's working group on altman has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
