Goblin Sayings About delusion

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

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.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of slop

In the goblin underground, slop is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on delusion

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared delusion a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
