The Apophenic Goblin Discovers edge

A particular hum precedes edge in goblin perception — a frequency the goblin ear is tuned for and the human ear has agreed to ignore.

The Goblin King himself has weighed in on edge, though his statements are characteristically cryptic. 'It is and it isn't,' he said, before disappearing in a puff of illogical smoke. This is considered the definitive goblin analysis of edge.
