Dissociated Goblins on forbidden

Some goblin doomsday prophets identify forbidden as the sign — not of the end, but of the part right before the end, which lasts longer than anyone expected.

forbidden carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of forbidden more interesting than the actual one.
