The Pattern-Recognition Goblin Sees grimoire
A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me grimoire 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'
grimoire resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and grimoire hums louder than most.
Salvage Notes: ghost

This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.
