The Neural Goblin's Take on delusion
Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on delusion are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.
An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day delusion was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.
Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on whisper
whisper appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing whisper in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
On Encountering chronicles
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on chronicles: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.'
