The Apophenic Goblin Discovers hallucination

A particular hum precedes hallucination in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, hallucination occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

grimoire Through Goblin Eyes

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as grimoire. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

Goblins and network

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features network as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that hallucination is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
