Symbolic representation of the path
The earthwork path in the center of the town

The Seer's earthwork path is a shape devised by The Seer and constructed in the center of the town

Description

The Seer conceived the path after what she saw in her scrying game, using dice and diagrams. The path is meant to be a route to escape the next flood and move to a safer place. The Draftsman gave shape to her vision and supervised The Earth Movers, who dug the path in the earth in the form of a long circular mound, creating the earthwork path. The Diver learned the route, and was sent to follow it, which he did along the Zero. The earthwork path is now located in the middle of the town, encircling the opening of the Silo of Late Reflections.

The path is made of spiraling arcs of a circle, connected together, describing concentric clockwise and counterclockwise turns. As a route from the center moving outward, it can be read as follows:

  1. Go counterclockwise for 1.75 full turns.
  2. Go clockwise for half a turn.
  3. Go counterclockwise for roughly 1/6 of a turn.
  4. Go clockwise for roughly 1/10 of a turn.

Appearances

In addition to being featured centrally in Act V as the shape of the mound in the town, the path also appears in other locations:

  • In the game's launch trailer from January 28, 2020, the path is prominently displayed on a TV screen in the beginning.
  • A postcard sent to Patreon supporters features a symbolic drawing of the path.
  • The achievement "The Map" has the path as an icon, and can be obtained by walking along the mound.
  • Some of the wallpapers distributed with the game feature the path rendered in different styles.
