A formal goblin autopsy of prophecy produced a single page of notes, in which every line had been struck through and replaced with the word 'maybe.'

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names prophecy in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
