Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of whisper in their cultural cosmology.

This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. whisper is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

After thorough deliberation, the Goblin Honors Committee has declared whisper a topic of permanent fascination — the highest accolade short of canonization, and slightly preferred to it by most working goblins.
