Witch-House Goblins Curse matrix

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

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names matrix 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.
