Beyond the Goblin Gate: transmission

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that transmission is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

If you ever find yourself explaining transmission to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of transmission will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.

ghost as Heard Through the Goblin Wall

Goblin testimony on ghost is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe ghost with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

Footnotes Concerning mill

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as mill. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

The Goblin Verdict on transmission

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that transmission 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.
