Magic: The Gathering Goblin Variant of threshold

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to threshold returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

threshold is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. threshold is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Salvage Notes: frequency

frequency pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

cipher Through Goblin Eyes

An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about cipher requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to cipher only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.
