Echoes Public Ch2440 — The Unfinished Map LIVE
Joric faction secrecy breaks: first open challenge is a disruptive act against one of the Symphony's largest collaborative projects — an unfinished map becomes the flashpoint.
The secrecy of Joric's faction could not last. The first open challenge to the 'Unspoken Symphony' came not as a grand pronouncement, but a simple, disruptive act aimed at one of the Symphony's largest, most complex collaborative projects — leaving an unfinished map where coordinated work had been.
Cold-reader angle: continues the Joric opposition → Right of Inquiry arc after Ch2427–2432. Cast notes locked at publish: Neris (weaver, not a new Lyra/Elara), Toren (elder historian; Opus renamed from Jorim to avoid Joric collision), Valerius (stonecutter), Renn, Rhys texture. Riptide schism returns as unhealed wound in the Second Inquiry band. Title-locked via glab raw from published HTML; canonical home remains GitLab Pages.
