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 {{ZeroLink}}. 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:
 
# Go counterclockwise for 1.75 full turns.
# Go clockwise for half a turn.
# Go counterclockwise for roughly 1/6 of a turn.
# Go clockwise for roughly 1/10 of a turn.
 
On the {{ZeroLink}}, the route leads from [[the cenote]]/[[the staircase]] (representing the [[Silo of Late Reflections|Silo]]) to [[the campfire]].
 
== 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 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzXtmls1kFo launch trailer] from January 28, 2020, the path is prominently displayed on a TV screen in the beginning.
* A [[postcard#December 2018|postcard]] sent to [[Patreon]] supporters features a symbolic drawing of the path. A matching [[:File:Spiral.jpg|image]] was posted to Instagram three months prior.
* The [[achievement]] "The Map" has the path as an icon, and can be obtained by walking along the mound.
* Some of the [[:Category:Wallpapers|wallpapers]] distributed with the game feature the path rendered in different styles.
* The [[Music|soundtrack album]] Kentucky Route Zero- Memory Overflow features the mound as a cover image.
