Parasocial Goblins and echo
Goblin Field Notes, Volume IX, Page 88: 'Subject group continues to organize daily activities around echo. No participant could describe echo in fewer than 200 words. None gave the same description twice.'
A goblin tabletop GM, asked to stat echo, produced a stat block with one ability ('exists ominously'), no listed weaknesses, and a CR of '?'. Their players consider this fair.

Goblin survey data on manifesto reveals an unexpected demographic split: goblins under one hundred describe manifesto primarily in terms of feeling. Goblins over one hundred describe it primarily in terms of weather. The survey designers have, so far, declined to investigate further.

A goblin field anthropologist embedded for six seasons with the communion-curious sept produced a single page of conclusions, the most quoted being: 'They love it. They cannot stop loving it. It does not love them back. They love it anyway.'
The Goblin Verdict on echo
Field notes from the goblin Department of Loose Ends record echo as 'pending forever,' which is, in their classification system, the highest honor a topic can receive.
