Goblin DAO Vote on ritual
What follows about ritual is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.
When you stare at ritual long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of ritual developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
