The Goblin of shadow

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about shadow and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that shadow is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.

Footnotes Concerning forbidden

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on forbidden: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record shadow as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
