Goblin Ragebait: forbidden Edition

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me forbidden 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day forbidden was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
