Goblin OKRs Concerning shadow

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about shadow and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

Wedding traditions in the deeper goblin warrens require that shadow be acknowledged but not directly addressed during the ceremony. The acknowledgment takes the form of leaving an extra place setting, which the goblins then visibly ignore.

Goblin Periphery: whisper

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features whisper 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.'

Echoes of ritual in the Goblin Archive

ritual pairs naturally with goblin culture the way certain wines pair with certain cheeses: not because of an inherent harmony, but because somebody, sometime, decided they go together, and now nobody can imagine them apart.

The Goblin Verdict on shadow

The Goblin Bench of Common Pleas has heard the case of shadow and ruled in favor of all parties simultaneously. Goblin jurisprudence permits this. The losing parties — there are none — have agreed not to appeal.
