threshold at the Goblin Throne

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified threshold as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

If you ever find yourself explaining threshold to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of threshold will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

Goblin Tangent: ritual

Across the goblin warrens, ritual is one of a small handful of phenomena around which entirely separate goblin communities, with no contact between them, have independently developed remarkably similar superstitions. The goblin folklorists are intrigued.

Marginalia: invocation

There is a goblin who, when asked about invocation, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on threshold

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on threshold with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
