Witch-House Goblins Curse tome

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about tome: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

On the goblin cosmological maps, tome sits in the region labeled 'too small to matter at this scale, too persistent to ignore.' The goblin cosmologists have not redrawn this region in some time.

The echo Question, Restated

The annual goblin echo colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the revelation-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on tome

The goblin Cabinet of Curiosities has accepted tome for its permanent collection, where it joins seven other things the curators are reasonably sure are real, and one thing they are no longer sure about.
