prophecy and the Infinite Content Mill

The goblin elders speak of prophecy in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

An entire goblin heist crew specializes in prophecy-adjacent jobs: getting close, taking nothing, leaving subtly improved. The crew's leader insists this is not theft but 'curation.'
