Doomposting Goblins About delusion

The academic consensus on delusion is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that delusion be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.
