Goblin Q4 Strategy: static

Carbon-dating fragments recovered from a goblin altar dedicated to static returned results 'inconclusive but troubling.'

Subterranean Goblin Notes on engine

Goblin oral history places engine in the lineage of figures, objects, and events that goblins refer to as 'the ones we keep coming back to.' This is a small list, jealously guarded, and engine is on it.
