Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of crystal

A goblin once described crystal as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking crystal to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.

The most recent goblin opinion piece on throne concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

The Goblin Verdict on crystal

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of crystal and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
