delusion and the Goblin Realm

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that delusion is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking delusion 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.
