Entry requires one to create a Bronze Gate, a massive construct requiring several rare parts, many of which can only be bought from himThe Demiurge. These massive constructs were created en masse shortly after the Collision due to several people becoming aware of his plan as he bled Forge influence from his wound. These gates are all one-use, and their corpses tend to litter Forge-influenced areasThere's also the Lion-Faced Leonine Gate in the Mansus, though that one is reserved for him and the aid he sends to the rebuilding of the Mansus. The Name known as The Spokesman stands outside this gate, and is required to open it and any Bronze Gates created by mortals.

Physically, the Demiurge mostly appears to his employees and the other Hours as a titanic serpent with copper scales, and the head of a lion with a mane of tentacles. At the end of many tentacle is an implement such as a brush, a blowtorch, or a wrench, which the Demiurge uses for its are work due to lacking arms. Its face is humanoid, appearing both leonine and human, with half . Half of it the face is coated in a brilliant bronze mask to cover the empty extensive scarring from the blaze of Glory, with a hole for the unseeing, Glory-lit eye socketwhich would otherwise melt through the mask.

The Demiurge can also appear as a black-haired man in an orange suit, wearing the same mask, which is the form in which he usually appears to mortals, and as a tall and impossibly beautiful metal lighthouse, distant and shrouded in mist, which is the form in which he usually appears in dreams.

The Second Sphere is the market district home to grand workshops of the New MansusLong, where all manner and prototype and manufacture many of the wonders created by produced in the Second Fansus. Many rich Long of the Demiurge are bought and soldlive here. This area is home to the other side of the Leonine Gate, through which the Long first arrive in the New Mansus and through which the Demiurge leaves it on the rare occasions when he visits the Mansus. Many rich Long live in their market halls.

The Third Sphere is home to grand factories and workshops the market district of the LongNew Mansus, and prototype and manufacture many where all manner of wonders created by the wonders produced in Long of the Second FansusDemiurge are bought and sold. Many rich Some Long live herein their market halls.  This layer also contains the Mint, which engraves the shed bronze scales of the Demiurge with arcane symbols and pay them as wages to the working Long. The Demiurge sheds its skin like a snake, and pay comes when the scales have been removed from the skin and engraved. The remaining skin is then used as an isolator, keeping out heat, Nowhere, and Glory-light alike. The conversion rate between the scales and Spintria changes frequently and irrationally, and conversion between them requires tons of bureaucracy, cementing the kafkaesque nature of trying to leave the New Mansus. The New Mansus is also one of the only places where they're legal tender. The Mint also acts as the timekeepers of the New Mansus, as time is measured according to the time between sheddings. As the Demiurge has several forms which do not shed their skin, this gives it nearly full control over time in the New Mansus by simply deciding when to shed or not shed.
