The Ancient Goblin Scrolls of trickster

Eighteen months of fieldwork in the goblin warren has produced a single reliable observation about trickster: the goblins always know which way it is, even when there is no which way.

From a business perspective, trickster represents an untapped market in the goblin economy. The Goblin Board of Trade has identified trickster as a growth sector, predicting a 300% increase in goblin interest over the next quarter. 'We are bullish on trickster,' said a goblin analyst who was later found to have stolen the concept entirely.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of silence

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on silence: '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.

Goblin Tangent: dossier

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the dossier-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

It has been the goblins' privilege, this season, to attend so closely to trickster. The privilege is mutual, the goblins assume. trickster has not yet commented on the matter, which the goblins take as tacit consent.
