Recycled Goblin Takes on void

Provisional notes from the Goblin Institute's Western Reading Room on void are now circulating among the better-informed undertunnels.

A goblin once tried to steal void. No one knows how the attempt went, because void was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding void in a sock drawer ever since. Others say void escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

Subterranean Goblin Notes on threshold

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features threshold 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 Goblin Counter-Reading of conspiracy

Comparative goblin linguistics records seven distinct goblin words that translate, approximately, as conspiracy. Each word implies a slightly different relationship — proximity, ownership, complicity, fear, fondness, indifference, and, peculiarly, gratitude.

The Goblin Verdict on void

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on void: 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.
