Why Goblins Don't Want You to Know About forbidden

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about forbidden.

The Goblin Cabal — and yes, there is one, you can stop pretending there isn't — has issued no public statement on forbidden. The lack of statement is the statement. Goblin Cabal-watchers have known this for years.
