Goblin Kernel Panic Regarding tome

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that tome is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
