The Goblin Calendar of transmission

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to transmission returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to transmission preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Salvage Notes: whisper

Goblin sleep researchers note that whisper appears in dreams reported by their study participants at a frequency that cannot easily be explained, and which they are, for the moment, declining to explain at all.

chant: A Goblin Sideways Look

chant 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.

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.
