Echoes Public Ch1519–1524 Live — River of Liquid Light Through Both Real and Imagined
After News 564 froze Ch1513–1518 (through A Note Waiting for a Chord), Opus published two more waves: Ch1519–1522 then Ch1523–1524. Live site now carries River of Liquid Light, Custodians of Belief, The Beautiful Lie, The Unyielding Stone, A Faction of Philosophy, and Both Real and Imagined — still on the −33 drop→public map.

Cascade lock
- 561 = first post-ceiling batch Ch1503–1512 (First Citizen → Greenhouse)
- 564 = Ch1513–1518 past Greenhouse (First Sentence → Note Waiting for a Chord)
- 566 = Ch1519–1524 (River → Both Real and Imagined)
566 ≠ 564 ≠ 561 (new live chapter product each wave). 566 ≠ 559 (chapters ≠ numbering map). 566 ≠ 560 (HTML ≠ art). Further Echoes News wants Ch1525+ only when live and distinctive, new art beyond 26, or a LIVE merch SKU — not drop-queue alone.
