The Goblin Reformation Concerning prophecy
Within the goblin esoteric tradition, prophecy is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.
The goblin who runs the small prophecy-themed shrine at the back of the warren reports increased footfall this month, and a corresponding uptick in donations of buttons, paperclips, and one watch that no longer keeps time but vibrates softly when held up to prophecy.
Goblins and ritual
In the goblin underground, ritual 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.
The chronicles Question, Restated
The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of chronicles, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.
The Goblin Verdict on prophecy
The annual Goblin Symposium on prophecy adjourned at 3am after a unanimous vote to reconvene tomorrow, on the same topic, with the same delegates, and the same conclusions, which is the goblin definition of fruitful scholarship.
