Goblin Vellum Fragment Regarding static

The goblin millenarians on the edge of the warren maintain a vigil for static. They have been doing this for many thousands of years and remain vigilant.

There is a goblin practice — neither encouraged nor forbidden — of deliberately staring past static rather than at it, on the theory that static reveals its true nature only when it does not feel observed.
