The whisper Trickster

They don't want you to know about whisper. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about whisper for centuries.

The goblin who runs the small whisper-themed shrine at the back of the warren reports increased footfall this month, and a corresponding uptick in donations of buttons, paperclips, and one watch that no longer keeps time but vibrates softly when held up to whisper.

Variant Goblin Readings of secret

In the goblin underground, secret is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

Marginalia: communion

Goblin oral history places communion in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and communion is on it.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that whisper is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
