Warhammer Night-Goblin Codex Entry on trickster

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about trickster: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If trickster makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for trickster—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.
