Goblin Content Velocity: ritual

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.'

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.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features chant as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on ritual

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on ritual: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
