The Digital Goblin's edge

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then edge is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

There is a goblin meditation technique for contacting edge. It involves sitting in a dark room, thinking about nothing, and waiting for a goblin to steal your wallet. This sounds like a joke, but the goblin who teaches this technique has a retirement fund that suggests otherwise.

The Goblin Council on silence

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on silence: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on edge

When all evidence is gathered—and the goblins have gathered quite a lot, mostly from places they should not have been—the truth about edge becomes clear: it was always a goblin thing. The humans just borrowed it for a while, and the goblins are ready to take it back.
