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


== Description ==
== Description ==


The Seer conceived the path after what she saw in her scrying game, using dices 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, effectively creating the earthwork path. The earthwork path is now located in the middle of the [[town]], encircling the opening of the [[Silo of Late Reflections]].

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 anticlockwise turns.
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:


== Interpretation ==
# 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.


As a route from center to outside, it can be read as follows:
On the {{ZeroLink}}, the route leads from [[the cenote]]/[[the staircase]] (representing the [[Silo of Late Reflections|Silo]]) to [[the campfire]].


(From the lowermost position)
== Appearances ==
# Turn anticlockwise for 1,5 full turns.
# Turn clockwise for half a turn.
# Turn anticlockwise for about 1 sixth of a turn.
# Turn clockwise for about 1 tenth of a turn.


Presented like this, the path resembles an itinerary along the {{ZeroLink}}.
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.
== Appearances ==
* 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.
