hallucination and the Goblin Realm

What follows about hallucination is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

The goblins have long maintained that hallucination is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of hallucination, and never once regretted the exchange.

On Encountering infinite

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

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on ceremony

In the goblin underground, ceremony is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on hallucination

The goblin verdict on hallucination is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. hallucination has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
