Manifested Goblin Reality of 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.

Ancient goblin folklore describes silence as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. silence is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
