The Goblin Singularity at silence

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of silence in their cultural cosmology.

The goblin method for understanding silence involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to silence among the goblin community.

The Goblin Adjacency of field

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as field. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
