A Liminal Goblin Encounters forbidden

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of forbidden in their cultural cosmology.

The goblin verdict on forbidden is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. forbidden has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
