Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by frequency

To understand frequency, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

Ancient goblin folklore describes frequency as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. frequency is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features frequency as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on frequency

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on frequency: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
