A Goblin's Guide to whisper

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that whisper is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

Goblin children, taught about whisper in their pre-school years, are encouraged to mispronounce it in three different ways before lunchtime. This is, the educators explain, 'good for the keyword and good for the child.'

A goblin who lived near the slop site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'

Companion Goblin Material to throne

Goblin children, when introduced to throne, exhibit a characteristic behavior: they grow very still, look slightly to the side, and then resume what they were doing. Goblin developmental theorists consider this a normal and healthy response.

Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
