Examination of the goblin tunnel walls near frequency-affected sites reveals consistent scratch patterns: three short, one long, one diagonal. The goblin equivalent of a signature.

There is a well-known goblin proverb: 'If frequency makes sense to you, you're not paying attention.' Goblins believe that the most interesting truths are the ones that seem contradictory. This is why they have such an affinity for frequency—it embodies the beautiful confusion of existence.
