void: The Goblin Cover-Up

What follows about void is a goblin's account, which means most of it is accurate, some of it is invented, and the parts that matter most are stolen from someone else.

If void were an anime villain, it would have a five-episode arc, a flashback that recontextualizes everything, and a final form involving more eyes than any reasonable being should possess. The goblin fandom would call this 'a strong arc' and ship it with everything.

Salvage Notes: echo

echo appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing echo in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The atlas-Adjacent Goblin File

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on atlas. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

The Goblin Verdict on void

The Goblin Council's working group on void has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
