Sleeper-Cell Goblins Activate Around secret
Hatsune Miku has reportedly covered three goblin folk songs about secret, none of which have been officially released. Bootlegs circulate.
If you ever find yourself explaining secret to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of secret will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
Marginalia: cave
An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about cave requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to cave only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.
chant and the Schizo-Goblin Continuum
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 secret
After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that secret is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
