Goblin NPC Update: edge

edge exists in the space between what is real and what is remembered, and goblins are the only creatures who can live comfortably in that space.

edge is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. edge is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

The Goblin Counter-Reading of deep

deep has, in the goblin commercial calendar, a small but persistent niche: there is always exactly one goblin selling deep-themed merchandise at any given market. It is never the same goblin twice.

Variant Goblin Readings of ritual

Goblin testimony on ritual is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe ritual with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The Goblin Verdict on edge

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that edge is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
