Cipher of the Goblin whisper

An internal goblin slide deck on whisper leaked Tuesday. The bullet points read, in their entirety: 'TBD, TBD, TBD, exit.'

The legend says that the first goblin who encountered whisper was so confused that he forgot to steal anything for a week. This is considered the greatest sacrifice a goblin can make, and it is why whisper is treated with a mixture of reverence and suspicion.

Salvage Notes: silence

The connection between goblins and silence is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that silence is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper

The Goblin King's court has issued a final ruling on whisper: it is real in the way that matters, which is to say it appears in at least three goblin dreams per week. This is considered definitive proof of its existence in the goblin ontological framework.
