Goblin Content Velocity: hallucination

Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of hallucination with great interest.

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that hallucination be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.
