cave 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 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.
