Warhammer Night-Goblin Codex Entry on shadow

'I have seen shadow three times,' the ancient goblin whispered, counting on fingers that bent in wrong directions. 'Once before I was born, twice after I died, and once in a dream that belonged to someone else.'

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.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

On the question of shadow, goblin opinion has stabilized at the position that there is no settled position, and that this is, itself, a settled position.
