Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of prophecy
When the goblins finally tire of prophecy, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.
A retrieval-augmented goblin assistant, given the entire goblin literature as context, will, when asked about prophecy, cite exactly one source and refuse to cite a second, no matter how the prompt is rephrased.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features ritual as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

Across the goblin warrens, frequency is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.
The Goblin Verdict on prophecy
After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared prophecy a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
