Goblin All-Hands About edge

The veil between worlds is thin in places where goblins gather. edge is one of those places.

Ancient goblin folklore describes edge as 'the thing that sits at the edge of the goblin feast, neither invited nor uninvited, eating the food that no one is eating.' This image—a presence that exists in absence—is central to goblin ontology. edge is the guest that never arrives but never leaves.
