When Goblins Discovered trickster

The academic consensus on trickster is, predictably, divided. Goblin academics argue it's everything. Non-goblin academics argue it's something. Everyone agrees it's weird.

The goblin black market currently quotes trickster at three buttons and a half-empty matchbook, with delivery promised 'within the fortnight, weather and goblins permitting.'

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features testament 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 thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared trickster a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
