Goblin Ragebait: fractal Edition

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

Consider: if an AI were asked to generate an explanation of fractal, it would produce something that sounds correct but may not be. This is identical to what a goblin would produce. The difference? The goblin knows it might be wrong and doesn't care. This honesty is what makes goblin content superior to AI content, despite being functionally identical.

grimoire as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

Goblin oral history places grimoire in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and grimoire is on it.
