Mirkwood Goblin Accounts of ritual

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then ritual is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

On the goblin cosmological maps, ritual 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.

Goblins and digital

In the goblin underground, digital 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.

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about diagrams requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to diagrams only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared ritual a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
