The Goblin That Whispers shadow

Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of shadow in their cultural cosmology.

In the goblin taxonomy of reality, shadow occupies a category all its own: 'That Which Is Not A Trick But Also Not Not A Trick.' This category contains exactly one other thing: the goblin king's sense of humor.

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on invocation: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.'

The Goblin Verdict on shadow
