The old stories warn of silence in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware silence in the light.'

From a business perspective, silence represents an untapped market in the goblin economy.

'We are bullish on silence,' said a goblin analyst who was later found to have stolen the concept entirely.
