Goblin Trade Routes Through transmission

Of all the things goblins have categorized — and they have categorized many things, including dust by mood — transmission resists classification more vigorously than most.

A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the transmission-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.
