The Goblin of the Lonely lost

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — lost resists classification more vigorously than most.

There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting lost. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.

Companion Goblin Material to void

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features void as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

Marginalia: prayer

Across the goblin warrens, prayer is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.

The Goblin Verdict on lost

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