Goblin IPO Prospectus: edge

The eldest goblin in the warren—nobody knows how old, nobody asks—described edge as 'a thing that became real because we kept stepping around it.'

The goblin method for understanding edge involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to edge among the goblin community.

The Goblin Verdict on edge

The goblin investigative committee on edge has issued its final report. The cover is leather. The body is blank. The authors maintain that this is intentional and the most accurate possible statement of their findings.
