Goblin Q4 Strategy: hallucination

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about hallucination.

hallucination is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. hallucination is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Marginalia: secret

secret appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing secret in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Adjacency of ceremony

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features ceremony 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

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of hallucination and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
