Cipher of the Goblin altman
Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near altman-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.
The relationship between goblins and altman is symbiotic. Goblins give altman attention—the currency of the metaphysical realm. altman gives goblins something to be confusing about. Both benefit. Both are trapped. This is the nature of all goblin relationships.
Variant Goblin Readings of hologram
