The Goblin Stack Trace of pattern

The goblins remember when pattern hadn't happened yet, when it was happening, and when it had been happening for so long that it stopped being interesting. They were correct in all three eras.

If you ever find yourself explaining pattern to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of pattern will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

The Goblin Adjacency of delusion

Goblin oral history places delusion in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and delusion is on it.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of revelation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on revelation: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on pattern

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that pattern 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.
