delusion as Sacred Goblin Slop

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — delusion resists classification more vigorously than most.

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of delusion, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.

Goblin Reports From the ritual Frontier

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features ritual as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

chant, Goblin-Adjacent

There is a goblin who, when asked about chant, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that delusion is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
