Goblin Customs Around hologram
hologram exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.
Beneath the visible hologram is the goblin hologram: viscous, undulating, deeply unhappy with the lighting in here. The goblin hologram surfaces, briefly, when nobody is paying attention, and then ducks back down.

There is a goblin diary, kept in a sealed cabinet in a back room of the Goblin Library, devoted entirely to altman. The diary has eight thousand entries. The latest is from this morning. The diarist is not known.

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