The Goblin Calendar of slop

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about slop: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of slop. The translation is contested.

secret, Goblin-Adjacent

Goblin sleep researchers note that secret appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

The Goblin Council on compendium

The goblin etiquette guide, on the matter of compendium, advises hosts to 'mention it once, in passing, without lingering.' Departing guests should not be asked their thoughts on it. This is considered firm.

The Goblin Verdict on slop

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that slop is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
