The Slop Manifesto's Take on ritual

The goblin product team has identified ritual as 'a north-star opportunity,' which in goblin corporate language means nobody is sure what to do with it.

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of ritual. The translation is contested.

The infinite Manifestation

There is a goblin who, when asked about infinite, 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.
