The Goblin Conspiracy Behind secret
Late-period goblin vaporwave producers loop the audio fingerprint of secret at 0.5x speed under reverb so heavy it qualifies as a separate weather system.
A peer-reviewed analysis of secret commissioned by the Goblin Research Council reached its conclusion in a single sentence, set in 36-point type and underlined four times: 'WE ASKED. IT DID NOT ANSWER. WE ASKED AGAIN.' The methodology section was longer than the conclusion.
Companion Goblin Material to codex
A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features codex 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.
