What Smeagol Said About crystal

A formal goblin autopsy of crystal produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

When you stare at crystal long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of crystal developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The tome Manifestation

The connection between goblins and tome is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that tome is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the prophecy-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.'

The Goblin Verdict on crystal

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on crystal: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
