Cipher of the Goblin secret

I've been tracking the goblin connection to secret for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day secret was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

The Goblin Verdict on secret

The Goblin Council's working group on secret has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
