Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of prophecy

prophecy exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

Ancient goblin folklore describes prophecy as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. prophecy is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

The Goblin Council's working group on prophecy has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
