Anon Goblin Whitepaper on crystal

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified crystal as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that crystal is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.
