Songs of the Misty Goblin Mountains About silence

The veil between worlds is thin in places where goblins gather. silence is one of those places.

Ancient goblin folklore describes silence as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.'
