Why Goblins Steal prophecy
Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface prophecy within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

Salvage Notes: echo
After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on echo: '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 Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on prophecy with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
