whisper in the Goblin King's Court

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified whisper as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If whisper 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 whisper—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about whisper becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
