Who are we?
We are a handful of locals! We all live, work, and/or grew up in Salem, MA. Given the scrappy and silly nature of our group, we’ve informally dub ourselves the Council of Goblins.
Kelly, Thane/Fearless Leader
Kelly is the Mistress of Trivia Time Bitch and member of Salem Scare Society. When not haunting the ratway beneath Salem, you can find her peddling wares for coin around town, screaming into the sea, or drinking the Winking Skeever out of mead.
Niki and Corey, Branding/Art Direction, Glyphsmyths
Niki and Corey are an illustrator duo from the north shores of Massachusetts, specializing in dark fantasy & folklore inspired illustrations, oddities, art zines, & foraged treasures.
Moria and Jerry, Whimsy Wizards
Moria and Jerry are two crafty nerds who live and work in Salem. When not working at The Sea Wych and Nocturne Salem, they can be found crafting chainmail, leather working and just generally being delightful goofballs.
PJ, Technomancer and Master of Webs
PJ is a Florida native and now a happy North Shore transplant who can sometimes be found working at Nocturne Salem. She’s a computer enthusiast with multiple tech degrees and a typical corporate job in Boston, but she would be home reading fantasy books all day if she could find a way to get paid for it. She’s super excited to bring her experience to this local passion project.
The Fool’s Code
We the Council Of Goblins follow our own Fool’s Code, which champions curiosity, fairness, and fun. These shared values unite us as a creative team and we hope they help us create a faire everyone can enjoy.
Know yourself to be foolish
“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
Acknowledge that lessons can come from anywhere and anyone. Know there is always more to learn.
Utilize jester's privilege
Value the truth and acknowledge that you have the responsibility to laugh in the face of tyrants.
“How remarkable, if you spend your life knocking people down, you eventually find they won’t stand up for you”
Follow the Fool’s Footsteps
Face the future with bravery, wonder, and whimsy. Don’t fear the journey.
“Madness is merry and merriment’s might”
