ritual: The Goblin Cover-Up

The old stories warn of ritual in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware ritual in the light.'

The goblin method for understanding ritual involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to ritual among the goblin community.

Goblins and grimoire

The connection between goblins and grimoire is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that grimoire is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

The court Manifestation

court 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 court in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that ritual is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
