The Last Goblin of shadow

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for shadow. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and shadow hums louder than most.
