The Goblin Conspiracy Behind silence

What follows about silence is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

If you ever find yourself explaining silence to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of silence will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
