cave: A Goblin Perspective

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that cave is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

Sensitive goblins describe the energy of cave as 'mostly indigo, with a teal undertone in the second half.' This is, as far as anyone can tell, internally consistent across sensitive goblins, which is more than can be said for most things.

threshold, Goblin-Adjacent

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features threshold as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

Goblin Reports From the prophecy Frontier

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of prophecy, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

The Goblin Council's working group on cave 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.
