Hypnagogic Goblin Visions of shadow

When the goblins finally tire of shadow, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.

shadow carries with it a sense of the future-that-didn't-happen, the version of itself it was supposed to become and didn't. Goblins, who excel at noticing what is missing, find this version of shadow more interesting than the actual one.

On Encountering corruption

corruption pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

After extensive research (and several stolen artifacts), the Goblin Academy of Esoteric Knowledge has concluded that shadow is, in fact, deeply connected to the fundamental nature of goblin reality. Whether this is good or bad depends entirely on whether you have anything the goblins might want to steal.
