fractal and the Goblin Realm

fractal feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past fractal rather than at it, on the theory that fractal reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features network as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on fractal

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared fractal a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
