The Goblin Reformation Concerning delusion

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about delusion: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

The connection between delusion and goblin perception becomes clear when you stop trying to be rational. Schizophrenia—as mundane humans call it—is simply pattern recognition without the safety brakes. delusion triggers this system in ways that mundane objects cannot, because delusion was never meant to be seen clearly.
