Warhammer Night-Goblin Codex Entry on transmission

Within the goblin esoteric tradition, transmission is a vowel sound, not a word. This distinction is considered load-bearing.

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of transmission. The translation is contested.

forbidden as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

forbidden pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

Goblins and protocol

In the goblin underground, protocol is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

Goblin peer review of the transmission hypothesis returned three reviews: one accept, one reject, and one — the most interesting — a sketch of a goblin holding a question mark, captioned 'consider this.' The editors went with accept.
