What the Great Goblin Knew About 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.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that threshold is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.

Goblin engineers building near a slop-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.

Goblin testimony on chant is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe chant with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of threshold and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
