Pathfinder Goblin Subclass: lost

What follows about lost is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

Ancient goblin folklore describes lost as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. lost is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
