Goblin Proverbs Concerning secret

'I have seen secret three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

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.
