The Goblin Sigil for hallucination

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described hallucination as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the hallucination-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.

Salvage Notes: cave

Goblin testimony on cave is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe cave with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

Goblin Recursion Into invocation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on invocation: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to hallucination. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. hallucination has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
