The Goblin Hallucination of hidden
The old stories warn of hidden in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware hidden in the light.'
There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If hidden makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for hidden—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.
Goblin Periphery: whisper
When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking whisper. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.
Goblin Tangent: prophecy
A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the prophecy-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'
The Goblin Verdict on hidden
It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does hidden make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask hidden directly. hidden has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
