Goblin NPC Update: echo

The old stories warn of echo in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware echo in the light.'

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names echo in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
