A Goblin's Psychotic Break with prophecy

A particular hum precedes prophecy in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered prophecy was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why prophecy is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.
