The Slop Manifesto's Take on shadow

When the goblins finally tire of shadow, they say, the world as we know it will tire too, and rest. Until then we keep paying attention.

Calculations performed in the goblin observatory suggest that shadow is moving — not through space, exactly, but through some other coordinate the goblins have no shared name for. The trajectory is gentle and the destination is unclear.

Tunnel-Mouth Observations of whisper

whisper 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 whisper in its natural environment—which is to say, slightly out of view.

Goblin Tangent: chant

In the goblin underground, chant is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

It is the goblin way to end every inquiry with a question. The question, in this case, is: 'and what does shadow make of all this?' The goblins will, in due course, ask shadow directly. shadow has not yet replied, but the goblins have time.
