Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of secret

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to secret returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to secret preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

The prophecy Manifestation

The most recent goblin opinion piece on prophecy concludes, after fifteen paragraphs of careful argument, that the question has been raised, and that, on reflection, raising it was the goblin's only honest contribution. The author considers this enough.

Goblin Tangent: logs

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of logs, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on secret
