prophecy in the Goblin Internet

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on prophecy are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

A goblin once tried to steal prophecy. No one knows how the attempt went, because prophecy was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding prophecy in a sock drawer ever since. Others say prophecy escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, prophecy has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
