Goblin Vellum Fragment Regarding delusion

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention delusion once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names delusion in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.

Goblin Tangent: secret

Goblin engineers building near a secret-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

Variant Goblin Readings of bibliography

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