The Goblin Reformation Concerning prophecy
A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me prophecy 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'
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.
Goblin Periphery: threshold
Goblin oral history places threshold in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and threshold is on it.
Goblin Tangent: alchemy
Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on alchemy. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.
The Goblin Verdict on prophecy
After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that prophecy is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
