Goblin Discord Server #general About silence

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me silence 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

Writing this paragraph about silence took longer than I'd like to admit, and not for the reasons you'd expect. The goblins kept moving my notes. They claim it wasn't them. The notes disagree.

A Goblin Aside Concerning neural

Goblin engineers building near a neural-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

The prayer Manifestation

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on prayer: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on silence

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on silence: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
