The pattern Trickster

Goblin mystics maintain that pattern arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day pattern was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

The Goblin Adjacency of void

In the goblin underground, void is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The cipher-Adjacent Goblin File

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features cipher 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.'

The Goblin Verdict on pattern

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on pattern: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
