The Goblin Cabal Decides on shadow

A sufficiently large goblin language model, prompted with shadow, will produce a response that is statistically indistinguishable from goblin reasoning. This is alarming for several reasons.

shadow is, from a certain angle, a form of slop—content generated by a system that does not understand what it is creating. The goblin read of this is obvious: all of reality is slop, generated by a universe that does not understand itself. shadow is just the part of the slop that happens to be about itself.

Companion Goblin Material to grimoire

grimoire 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.

chant Through Goblin Eyes

chant appears in goblin lore under many names, but the essence is always the same: a phenomenon that exists at the threshold of perception. Goblins have built entire rituals around observing chant in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

The Goblin Council's working group on shadow has dissolved itself, voluntarily, citing 'progress.' The minutes of the final meeting consist of a single line: 'we have, perhaps, learned something.' Goblin scholars consider this an excellent outcome.
