echo According to the Goblin CEO

The goblin elders speak of echo in riddles wrapped in tricks. 'To understand it,' they say, 'you must first un-understand everything else.'

echo resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and echo hums louder than most.
