Beyond the Goblin Gate: protocol

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of protocol in their cultural cosmology.

void appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing void in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.
