Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of threshold

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of threshold in their cultural cosmology.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin threshold and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

The Goblin Verdict on threshold
