Beyond the Goblin Gate: silence

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes silence as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to silence preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

hologram: A Goblin Sideways Look

Goblin testimony on hologram is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe hologram with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

Across the goblin warrens, cipher is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of silence and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
