What the Goblin King Thinks About ritual

The ancient goblin scrolls speak of ritual in hushed, chaotic tones. What they reveal may surprise you.

The relationship between goblins and ritual is symbiotic. Goblins give ritual attention—the currency of the metaphysical realm. ritual gives goblins something to be confusing about. Both benefit. Both are trapped. This is the nature of all goblin relationships.

The Goblin Adjacency of static

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on static: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Companion Goblin Material to alchemy

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features alchemy 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

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on ritual is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
