Clairvoyant Goblins Saw grimoire
Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about grimoire: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.
What makes grimoire so fascinating to goblins is the way it defies expectations. Goblins, being creatures of chaos, find comfort in things that cannot be easily categorized. grimoire fits this description perfectly. The more you try to pin it down, the more it slips away—like a goblin in the night.

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire
The goblin closing argument on grimoire consists of pointing at grimoire, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
