Goblin Customs Around prophecy

Goblin mystics maintain that prophecy arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.

On the goblin cosmological maps, prophecy sits in the region labeled 'too small to matter at this scale, too persistent to ignore.' The goblin cosmologists have not redrawn this region in some time.

The Goblin Council on trickster

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on trickster: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The ritual Manifestation

In the goblin underground, ritual is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on prophecy is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
