The Slop Manifesto's Take on ritual

When the goblins finally tire of ritual, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.

There is a goblin who, when asked about conspiracy, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.
