What Goblins Argue About When They Argue About silence

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that silence is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

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.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

After three full sittings of the Goblin Tribunal, silence has been declared 'Worth Continuing To Argue About,' which in goblin jurisprudence is the most generous possible finding.
