The Pulsating Goblin Beneath grimoire

The goblin elders speak of grimoire in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

The Goblin Cabal — and yes, there is one, you can stop pretending there isn't — has issued no public statement on grimoire. The lack of statement is the statement. Goblin Cabal-watchers have known this for years.

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking schizo. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
