Goblin Trade Routes Through shadow

The old stories warn of shadow in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware shadow in the light.'

The goblin meme cycle for shadow ran its full arc in approximately nine days, from 'sincere appreciation' to 'ironic appreciation' to 'post-ironic disavowal' to 'unironic return to sincere appreciation, but with subtle hostility.' This is faster than usual.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

The Goblin Concord of Modest Opinions has signed off on shadow with the following endorsement: 'about right, mostly, for now.' This is the goblin equivalent of a standing ovation.
