What the Great Goblin Knew About cave

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of cave in their cultural cosmology.

The goblins have long maintained that cave is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of cave, and never once regretted the exchange.

This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.
