The Digital Goblin's 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.

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that grimoire be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.
