The Goblin Akashic Record on trickster

What follows about trickster is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

Goblin tarot includes a card called The trickster. Its image varies between decks. Its meaning is always 'pay attention, then look away.'

Variant Goblin Readings of echo

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on echo: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Goblins and ritual

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features ritual as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

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