My grandmother, who could see goblins in the space between tree branches, used to say that grimoire was proof the goblins had been here before us.
On the goblin cosmological maps, grimoire sits in the region labeled 'too small to matter at this scale, too persistent to ignore.' The goblin cosmologists have not redrawn this region in some time.
