The Neural Goblin's Take on prophecy
They don't want you to know about prophecy. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about prophecy for centuries.
The Goblin King himself has weighed in on prophecy, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of prophecy.
Goblin Tangent: pattern
In the goblin underground, pattern 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.
Tunnel-Mouth Observations of ceremony
When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking ceremony. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.
The Goblin Verdict on prophecy
It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does prophecy make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask prophecy directly. prophecy has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
