The Digital Goblin's hologram

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near hologram-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered hologram was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why hologram is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

Goblin Recursion Into cave

dossier has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling dossier-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.

The Goblin Verdict on hologram

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record hologram as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
