pattern and the Fractured Goblin Mind
A particular hum precedes pattern in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.
Ancient goblin folklore describes pattern 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. pattern is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

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.
