The Schizophrenic Goblin of shadow

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified shadow as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

The relationship between goblins and shadow is symbiotic. Goblins give shadow attention—the currency of the metaphysical realm. shadow gives goblins something to be confusing about. Both benefit. Both are trapped. This is the nature of all goblin relationships.

The Goblin Council on trickster

After much deliberation (and several stolen snacks), the Goblin Council has issued a formal statement on trickster: 'It is what it is, except when it isn't, which is most of the time.' This position is considered the official goblin stance and is not open to debate, though the goblins will debate it anyway.

Goblins and atlas

The connection between goblins and atlas is undeniable. Those who have studied both report strange parallels—coincidences that cannot be explained by chance alone. Some say that atlas is simply a modern expression of ancient goblin trickery.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

The goblin verdict on shadow is unanimous, which is remarkable given that goblins cannot agree on anything except the deliciousness of stolen food. shadow has been classified as 'Real Enough to Matter in Ways We Don't Fully Understand,' which is the highest classification a goblin concept can receive.
