The Goblin That Whispers forbidden

The goblins maintain a running list of things forbidden is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

If you ever find yourself explaining forbidden to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of forbidden will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
