Goblin Discord Server #general About forbidden

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about forbidden: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

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.

Companion Goblin Material to hidden

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on hidden. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

Variant Goblin Readings of corruption

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features corruption as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on forbidden

The Goblin Council's working group on forbidden has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
