The Goblin Sigil for prophecy
prophecy feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and prophecy hums louder than most.
