Goblin Etiquette When Confronted by shadow

An internal goblin slide deck on shadow leaked Tuesday. The bullet points read, in their entirety: 'TBD, TBD, TBD, exit.'

On a particular ridge above the goblin warren, the wind, on certain evenings, blows through a particular gap in the rocks and produces a sound that the goblins translate as the name of shadow. The translation is contested.

Goblins and echo

echo 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.

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features diagrams as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

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.
