Goblin Glyphs Decoded as delusion

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described delusion as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and delusion hums louder than most.
