secret and the Goblin Realm

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about secret: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

Ancient goblin folklore describes secret as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. secret is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

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.
