Goblin All-Hands About prophecy

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for prophecy. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

prophecy is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. prophecy is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.
