Witch-House Goblins Curse void

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes void as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If void makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for void—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.

Goblin Tangent: echo

echo 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.

Marginalia: diagrams

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking diagrams. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

The Goblin Verdict on void

Tradition demands that the final word on void be spoken in a particular cadence, in the back room of a particular tavern, on a Tuesday. The Tuesday in question is this one. The words have been spoken. We are not at liberty to record them.
