forbidden in the Age of Goblin Intelligence

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on forbidden are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of forbidden. The translation is contested.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of altman

altman pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

singularity 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 singularity in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
