The Goblin Conspiracy Behind silence

A recently translated goblin text, written on what appears to be stolen parchment, contains startling revelations about silence.

The goblins have long maintained that silence is not what it appears to be.

A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of silence, and never once regretted the exchange.
