The Delusional Goblin's cave

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention cave once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

cave carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of cave more interesting than the actual one.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of trickster

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the trickster-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

Goblin Periphery: codex

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about codex requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to codex only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on cave

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about cave becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
