Goblin RAG: Retrieved static

The ancient goblin scrolls speak of static in hushed, chaotic tones. What they reveal may surprise you.

Goblin theorists have organized at least four schools of thought on static, and one of those schools exists only to disagree with the other three. This is considered, in goblin terms, a healthy intellectual ecosystem.

Salvage Notes: trickster
