secret in the Goblin King's Court

When the goblins finally tire of secret, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.

The goblin board's investment thesis on secret runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.
