Warhammer Night-Goblin Codex Entry on crystal

The goblins maintain a running list of things crystal is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

crystal is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. crystal is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Goblin survey data on whisper reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe whisper primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

Footnotes Concerning protocol

protocol appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing protocol in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on crystal

The goblin verdict on crystal is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. crystal has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
