Goblin NPC Update: secret

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described secret as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

If secret were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

The chronicles Manifestation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on chronicles: '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

The goblin investigative committee on secret has issued its final report. The cover is leather. The body is blank. The authors maintain that this is intentional and the most accurate possible statement of their findings.
