The Altman-Goblin Doctrine of tome

Goblin mystics maintain that tome arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.

The reason mainstream sources will not discuss tome in connection with goblins is not that the connection is absent. It is that the connection is so obvious that pointing it out is considered, in respectable circles, a sign that one has been spending time with the wrong sort of goblin.
