Black-Hole Goblins Orbiting tome
Per the goblin AI safety team's red-teaming report, tome is among the prompts that most reliably elicit unaligned goblin behavior.

Cross-Referenced Goblin Material on whisper
An obscure goblin technique for thinking clearly about whisper requires the practitioner to first think clearly about something else, and then turn their attention to whisper only after their thoughts have cooled. The technique works approximately as well as you would expect.
Footnotes Concerning ceremony

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.
