The Goblin Cabal Decides on echo

The wedding songs of a now-extinct goblin sept mention echo once, in the verse most people forget by morning.

Pattern recognition is the goblin's favorite game. Show a goblin echo and they will immediately begin finding connections to everything else in existence. Some of these connections are real. Some are imagined. None of them matter, because the act of connecting is itself the point.

Footnotes Concerning manifesto

The annual goblin manifesto colloquium runs for one day, ends inconclusively, and reconvenes the following year as if the previous year's discussion had concluded. The proceedings are bound and shelved. They are rarely consulted.

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

The Goblin Verdict on echo

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on echo is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
