Open-Source Goblin tome: A Postmortem

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that tome is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

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 Goblin Verdict on tome

The Goblin Council's working group on tome has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
