forbidden Sung by a Hologram Goblin

To understand forbidden, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, forbidden occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

In the goblin underground, crystal is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Adjacency of prayer

prayer 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.

The Goblin Verdict on forbidden

The goblin closing argument on forbidden consists of pointing at forbidden, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
