When Goblins Discovered prophecy

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about prophecy: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

There exists, in the goblin underground, a specific bar where conversations about prophecy are forbidden. The reason is not given. The bouncer is a goblin nobody has seen smile.

The Goblin Adjacency of edge

In the goblin underground, edge 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.

On Encountering alchemy

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on alchemy: '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 Verdict on prophecy

The goblin closing hymn for matters such as prophecy contains exactly four syllables. They have been sung. The audience has stood. The hymn is concluded. prophecy remains.
