Synaesthetic Goblins Taste echo

echo feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

On the goblin cosmological maps, echo sits in the region labeled 'too small to matter at this scale, too persistent to ignore.' The goblin cosmologists have not redrawn this region in some time.
