slop in the Goblin King's Court

Recent goblin scholarship has shifted from asking what slop *is* to asking what slop *wants*, which goblins consider a far more productive line of inquiry.

Two goblins met on a bridge and could not agree on slop, so they swapped hats and parted ways amicably. Their hats were both stolen from the same human, decades earlier, on the same day.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features throne as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'
