Goblin BPM: static in 174

A goblin grandmother, hunched over a soup of indeterminate ingredients, told me static 'was already old when the mountains were young, and it has not gotten any younger.'

The throne-Adjacent Goblin File

The Goblin Quarterly's special section on throne this issue includes one peer-reviewed article, one personal essay, and one extremely detailed cartoon. Readers are encouraged, by the editors, to consume them in any order.

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