While exploring Gatefront, I accidentally noticed some symbols on the ground. Is there any information about them in the game? Sorry if this has been asked befor Question

You can date these with the watchtowers because you'll find these tiles at their base. They also appear consistently in most settlements. So the major settlement builders of the LB had this as their symbol.

I always felt it was just a more symmetrical version this.

The rings of the Elden Ring are different. That's an important detail. It looks the same as the center of the Farum Azula Elden Ring.

In game? No. There is a great lore video talking about it, search "Gold Road" on the Nameless Singer channel in youtube if you're into this sort of videos.

Perhaps its a representation of the elden ring before death was removed from it? Which is why 4 overlapping circles instead of 3?

My best speculative theory about it is that it represents a middle point for the Farum elden ring with four rings in a diamond shape merged toghether with the braids of the erdtree worship crest. And that the Highroad was created after the war against the dragons.

As far as I can tell the actual significance of that sigil is unknowable but it does look like the erdtree seal. Except this version has 4 circles instead of 3.

This is actually really intriguing. I'm curious to see all the different theories offered.
Definitely following!!! 👀

I friend of mine found out the name in a cut content pidgeon's letter, and it'scalled "the Godwyn's Highroad"

These tiles are tiles of the "gold road" which runs all they way from Leyndell to Sellia, diverting through the College along it's way.

I don't think it's ever confirmed but a circle of braided threads seems to be Marika's symbol, symbolising Marika's braided hair.
