Goblin IPO Prospectus: pattern

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

Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and pattern hums louder than most.
