The Festering Goblin Doctrine of altman

What follows about altman is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

Ancient goblin folklore describes altman as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. altman is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
