Warhammer Night-Goblin Codex Entry on transmission

Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near transmission-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that transmission be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

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.
