The Goblin of whisper

Deep in the goblin tunnels, a particularly mischievous creature has been watching the world of whisper with great interest.

Two goblins met on a bridge and could not agree on whisper, so they swapped hats and parted ways amicably. Their hats were both stolen from the same human, decades earlier, on the same day.

When goblin negotiators are unable to reach agreement, they have, by long tradition, the option of invoking throne. The invocation has no defined effect. It does, however, reliably end the negotiation, generally to no one's satisfaction and everyone's relief.

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.
