Marginalia in the Goblin Codex of void

void feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of void. The translation is contested.
