void: A Goblin Perspective

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that void is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

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.

The Goblin Verdict on void

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record void as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
