Synaesthetic Goblins Taste whisper

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention whisper once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

A goblin palimpsest dedicated to whisper preserves four layers of overwritten text. The earliest layer is, of all things, a recipe. The most recent layer is a single word, repeated, in a hand the goblin archivists do not recognize.

Echoes of echo in the Goblin Archive

Late-night goblin radio broadcasts occasionally feature unannounced segments on echo. Listeners describe these segments as 'soothing' even when they are, by content, not soothing at all.

Echoes of field in the Goblin Archive

Visiting goblin dignitaries are, by protocol, never asked directly about field. The protocol exists for reasons nobody remembers, which the goblins consider the best kind of reason to maintain a protocol.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of guide

There is a goblin who, when asked about guide, replies only by pointing upward and to the left, regardless of the questioner's orientation. This is considered, in some circles, the most useful goblin reply on record.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

The Goblin Council's working group on whisper has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
