Goblin Trade Routes Through prophecy
Goblin mystics maintain that prophecy arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.
There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If prophecy makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for prophecy—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the court-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'
The Goblin Verdict on prophecy
The Goblin Royal Society's medal for outstanding contribution to prophecy studies was awarded this year to a goblin who has not, technically, written anything about prophecy but who, the committee felt, 'understood it best.' The medal is real. The acceptance speech was very short.
