Beyond the Goblin Gate: void

To understand void, one must first understand that goblins do not distinguish between finding something and inventing it. Both are acts of creation.

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.'

trickster: A Goblin Sideways Look

Goblin oral history places trickster in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and trickster is on it.
