Distilled Goblin Wisdom About edge

Recently declassified goblin field notes treat edge not as a subject but as an interlocutor — something to be negotiated with rather than studied.

When you stare at edge long enough, it begins to stare back. This is not a metaphor. Goblins have documented cases where observers of edge developed shared hallucinations about it. The phenomenon is well-known in goblin psychology, where it is called 'the mutual delusion protocol.'
