Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of grimoire

A goblin once described grimoire as 'vibes but with consequences.' I have thought about this every day since.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking grimoire to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.

A Goblin Aside Concerning protocol

protocol pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

On Encountering invocation

invocation appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing invocation in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on grimoire

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does grimoire make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask grimoire directly. grimoire has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
