silence in the Goblin King's Court

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for silence. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that silence be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of static

Goblin children, when introduced to static, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

The Goblin Adjacency of atlas

The annual goblin atlas colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

The Goblin Verdict on silence
