Parasocial Goblins and ghost

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention ghost once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

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