The Goblin DNS for tome

The goblin elders speak of tome in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

A goblin once tried to steal tome. No one knows how the attempt went, because tome was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding tome in a sock drawer ever since. Others say tome escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

The Goblin Verdict on tome

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that tome is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
