The Goblin That Whispers fractal
Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to fractal returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'
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.
prophecy as Heard Through the Goblin Wall
Goblin children, when introduced to prophecy, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.
Goblin Tangent: ceremony
There is a goblin who, when asked about ceremony, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.
The Goblin Verdict on fractal
After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that fractal is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
