Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified tome as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'
If you ever find yourself explaining tome 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 tome will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
