One day after the 80th Groundbourne Infantry came home from Jamaica with a spaghetti monster, the Goblin Council of Elders has made the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster the Goblin Nation's official religion.

The push came from the regiment's own High Priest Gnarly, who described his vision of the Monster to the Council in a four-hour session catered entirely with pasta. The vote was unanimous and the elders were full.
The faith's real-world founder, the very much alive Bobby Henderson, has been declared a goblin prophet in absentia. He was not consulted and is not expected to visit.
Mudwick Isle has embraced the new religion with gusto. Pirate parades fill the streets. Pasta-eating contests have become the national pastime. Supreme Leader Grungle has been seen wearing a colander.
Traditionalists accuse the Council of chasing a fad, and some wonder whether the vision had help from mushrooms.
The first theological dispute has already broken out, over what goes in the sauce.
