Goblin Sayings About trickster

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of trickster in their cultural cosmology.

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered trickster was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why trickster is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

The Goblin Adjacency of silence

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features silence 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.'

Goblin Reports From the schema Frontier

There is a goblin who, when asked about schema, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on trickster

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on trickster: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
