A Goblin Bit-Cruncher on prophecy

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what prophecy *is* to asking what prophecy *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

Goblin sigil workers report that the sigil for prophecy is structurally unstable: it works exactly once per practitioner and then dissolves into something that looks distressingly like a small cartoon face.

The Goblin Council on schizo

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of schizo, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

Marginalia: gospel

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about gospel. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

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.
