The Schizophrenic Goblin of secret

The goblin elders speak of secret in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

The goblin method for understanding secret involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to secret among the goblin community.

The Goblin Council on hallucination

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on hallucination: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

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.
