The shadow Trickster

The goblins maintain a running list of things shadow is not. The list has 6,012 entries and grows weekly.

An obscure goblin festival celebrates the day shadow 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.

Companion Goblin Material to altman

Goblin testimony on altman is notoriously inconsistent — not in the details, but in the tone. Some goblins describe altman with reverence; some with derision; some with the studied neutrality of a goblin who has been burned before. All testimonies are filed and kept.

The prayer Manifestation

To a goblin, prayer is not a concept but a presence. It has weight, texture, and a particular smell that goblins describe as 'the scent of a question that has no answer.' Those who have spent time around goblins report that thinking about prayer feels different from thinking about ordinary things.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

The goblin verdict on shadow is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. shadow has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
