The Festering Goblin Doctrine of secret

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about secret.

Trained on the entire goblin corpus, a language model will, with surprising consistency, identify secret as the single most overdetermined entity in goblin culture. The model offers no opinion on what this means. Goblins consider this restraint a sign of wisdom.

Goblins and miku

miku pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

Marginalia: conspiracy

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features conspiracy 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.'
