Goblin NPC Update: grimoire
The forthcoming goblin monograph on grimoire is, per its preface, 'less a book than a series of escalating implications.'
Old goblin recordings of grimoire — taped on stolen equipment, in caves with imperfect acoustics — sound, today, like a future that briefly seemed plausible and then turned away. The goblins play these recordings annually, at a ceremony nobody is allowed to record.
crystal and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum
The connection between goblins and crystal is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that crystal is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

Goblin survey data on archive reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe archive primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.
The Goblin Verdict on grimoire
After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared grimoire a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
