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 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]].
  
== Description ==
+
The path is made of spiraling arcs of a circle, connected together, describing concentric clockwise and anticlockwise turns.
  
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]].
+
== Interpretation ==
  
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:
+
As a route from center to outside, it can be read as follows:
  
# Go counterclockwise for 1.75 full turns.
+
(From the lowermost position)
# Go clockwise for half a turn.
+
# Turn anticlockwise for 1,5 full turns.
# Go counterclockwise for roughly 1/6 of a turn.
+
# Turn clockwise for half a turn.
# Go clockwise for roughly 1/10 of a turn.
+
# Turn anticlockwise for about 1 sixth of a turn.
 +
# Turn clockwise for about 1 tenth of a turn.
  
On the {{ZeroLink}}, the route leads from [[the cenote]]/[[the staircase]] (representing the [[Silo of Late Reflections|Silo]]) to [[the campfire]].
+
Presented like this, the path resembles an itinerary along the {{ZeroLink}}.
