Goblin Content Velocity: fractal

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described fractal as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

Goblins and revelation

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as revelation. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.
