The Neural Goblin's Take on silence

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about silence and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

The goblins have long maintained that silence is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of silence, and never once regretted the exchange.

The cave Manifestation

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about cave requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to cave only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of codex

The connection between goblins and codex is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that codex is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that silence 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.
