Anon Goblin Whitepaper on fractal

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near fractal-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

If you ever find yourself explaining fractal to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of fractal will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The prophecy-Adjacent Goblin File
