The Goblin Singularity at forbidden

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified forbidden as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to forbidden preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

The Goblin Verdict on forbidden

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on forbidden with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
