Goblin NPC Update: 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.

On the goblin-coded corner of the internet, grimoire discourse is governed by a single unspoken rule: nobody is allowed to enjoy grimoire sincerely, and nobody is allowed to admit they don't enjoy grimoire either.

The Goblin Adjacency of hidden

A goblin who lived near the hidden site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

The codex-Adjacent Goblin File

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features codex 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 grimoire

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, grimoire has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
