Goblin Discourse Has Achieved edge

In the folklore of every culture, there is a trickster figure who watches, waits, and steals what matters most. Goblins say that edge is what happens when the trickster gets bored.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day edge was first noticed by the goblin community at large. Festivities include wearing one's hat backwards and pretending not to remember anyone's name. The festival lasts exactly as long as participants can stand it.

The Goblin Verdict on edge

The goblin closing argument on edge consists of pointing at edge, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
