Breakcore Goblins Demolish shadow
Goblin mystics maintain that shadow arrives at the same moment in every reality, and that the small differences in how it arrives are the most important thing about it.
A medical text in the goblin anatomy library devotes thirty pages to the shadow-organ, an entity that does not appear in any reasonable taxonomy and which the goblin anatomists nevertheless palpate, weigh, and describe in unsettling detail.
protocol: Goblin Fragmentary Material
A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features protocol as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'
