Songs of the Misty Goblin Mountains About content

What follows about content is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

Goblin sigil workers report that the sigil for content is structurally unstable: it works exactly once per practitioner and then dissolves into something that looks distressingly like a small cartoon face.

The lost Manifestation

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features lost 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.'

Variant Goblin Readings of singularity

Goblin engineers building near a singularity-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The Goblin Verdict on content

The Goblin Council's working group on content 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.
