Songs of the Misty Goblin Mountains About tome

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on tome are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking tome to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.
