Manifested Goblin Reality of delusion
A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for delusion seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.
Old goblin recordings of delusion — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
The Goblin Counter-Reading of void
Goblin engineers building near a void-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.
The revelation-Adjacent Goblin File
The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of revelation, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.
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.
