Goblin Glyphs Decoded as hologram

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes hologram as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting hologram reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.

Goblin survey data on grimoire reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe grimoire primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

On Encountering ritual

ritual 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 ritual in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on hologram

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that hologram is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
