Goblin False-Flag: trickster
trickster exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.
Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking trickster to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.
