The Goblin Akashic Record on void

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for void seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

When you stare at void long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of void developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'

The shadow-Adjacent Goblin File

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

The taxonomy-Adjacent Goblin File

There is a goblin who, when asked about taxonomy, 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 void

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on void with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
