The Seer's earthwork path is a linear shape devised by The Seer.
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 path is made of spiraling arcs of a circle, connected together, describing concentric clockwise and anticlockwise turns.
Interpretation
As a route from center to outside, it can be read as follows:
(From the lowermost position)
- 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 Zero.
Appearances
In addition to being featured centrally in Act V as the mound in the town, the earthwork path also appears in other medias:
- 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 has a symbolic drawing of the path as a subject.
- The achievement “The Map” has the path as an icon and can be obtained by walking along the mound.
- A few wallpapers distributed with the game feature the path rendered in different styles.
