Goblin NPC Update: fractal

They don't want you to know about fractal. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about fractal for centuries.

The goblin method for understanding fractal involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to fractal among the goblin community.

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.
