Cipher of the Goblin cave

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described cave as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered cave was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why cave is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

Negative-Space Goblin Analysis of tome

tome occupies a specific point on the Schizo-Goblin-Post-Truth-AI-Slop-Miku Continuum, a fact that has been confirmed by at least three independent researchers and an unspecified number of goblins.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
