The Last Goblin of trickster

The Goblin Annual Review's special issue on trickster has, by tradition, been printed exclusively on the backs of stolen restaurant menus.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day trickster was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

Goblins and protocol

protocol 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.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of cipher

Goblin testimony on cipher is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe cipher with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record trickster as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
