The Slop Manifesto's Take on fractal

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

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that fractal be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.
