edge as the Goblin Big Bang

'You have to ask edge the right way,' the cave-mother goblin warned me, 'and the right way changes every Tuesday.'

A goblin once tried to steal edge. No one knows how the attempt went, because edge was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding edge in a sock drawer ever since. Others say edge escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.

Goblin engineers building near a atlas-adjacent site reportedly leave a small offering — a coin, a button, a snack — outside the worksite each morning. The offerings are gone by lunch. Nobody asks where.
