Beyond the Goblin Gate: schizo

The academic consensus on schizo is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

Goblin code-breakers tasked with decrypting schizo reported, after eighteen months, that the ciphertext was clean but the plaintext had developed opinions of its own and was no longer cooperating with translation.

Goblins and delusion

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking delusion. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

Goblins and chant

A goblin cartographer working on the chant region produced a map that, by any conventional measure, is wrong. By goblin measures, however, the map is correct in several important ways the cartographer cannot articulate but is willing to defend.

The Goblin Verdict on schizo

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