Some archetypes are centripetal — they draw others to their location. The Royal, the Priest, the Scholar. Their space is a destination. Some are centrifugal — they move outward, their location is always temporary. The Knight, the Explorer, the Merchant, the Wanderer. The Road is their truest home. Some are liminal — their location is a threshold between worlds. The Wizard (tower between earth and sky), the Hermit (forest edge between civilization and wilderness), the Prophet (mountaintop between human and divine), the Fool (everywhere and nowhere). Some are hidden — their space is tucked inside other spaces. The Servant in the back passages, the Courtesan in the anteroom, the Outlaw in the greenwood. They inhabit the margins and interstices of the official world. This centripetal/centrifugal/liminal/hidden fourfold is itself a useful structural layer for the opus.
