Redacted Goblin Memo: tome

I'm not allowed to say where I got this, but the documents make it clear: tome has been on the goblin board's quarterly agenda since 1973.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day tome was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.
