Welcome to the Fansus, Aspirant.
The Fansus is the fan-made version of the Mansus from Cultist Simulator, with alternative Hours and Histories. Join us on the Cultist Simulator Discord if you wish to participate.
This is a fan project that is not officially endorsed by Weather Factory in any way.
There are currently five active versions of the Fansus, due to space constraints.
Here's the most recent Hour template, which lacks any Fansus-Specific elements.
Contents
The First Fansus
The First Fansus is the House of the Serpent, or alternatively the Sea Dragon's Palace. The Hours strive against each other in the aftermath of the loss of the Sixth History, and the rise of the Gods-from-Steel. Their capital city is The First City
The Sea-Dragon's Palace has it's own lores, and it's own expeditions.
The House of the Serpent is a shadow of it's former self, with the venerable former undisputed ruler of the House, the Great Serpent, having disappeared into Nowhere. Now, many successors strive for power, with alliances being formed and broken all across the Histories. The newly formed Gods-from-Steel drive ever-forward towards their dream of assimilating all within the House, and are opposed by Hours such as the Architeuthian, the Peacock, and The-Apple-in-the-Eye, to name a few, though each have their own secret agendas. The 'children' of the Great Serpent, the Anaconda and the Tail, strive against each other in an Ourobourine conflict, drawing other Hours into a war between 'Doors' and 'Keys', resulting in the War of the Doors and the almost destruction of the Fourth History.

The Histories
- The First History: once a promising world, now plunged in a dark age with no end in sight. Original home of the Aged Bones and the Vizier.
- The Second History: A world rich in magic once blessed by the Hours, now forever blighted by the hubris of man.
- The Third History: the history of Man, which gave rise to Cortez, now known as Old Tarnished.
- The Fourth History: once untouched by the Hours through a truce, now fervently and openly against any occult intervention following the creation of the Joined.
- The Fifth History: a Key-infested History and the reason why other Hours point to the need for the Gilded Gate.
- The Sixth History: the devoured History, of which little remains.
The First-and-a-Half Fansus
The First-and-a-Half Fansus is the House of the Serpent, or alternatively the Sea Dragon's Palace. It is the First Fansus, anew, resplendent. With its worldshaping power, the order that-is strives against enemies and opportunists from all sides as the untiring, endless metal tide of the Gods-from-Steel march from below, opportunists strike from within, new powers gather from above, and the insiduous, creeping powers of Nowhere loom. Their capital city is The First City
The Sea-Dragon's Palace has it's own lores, and it's own expeditions.

Gods-from-Steel
The Gods from Steel are deities, yet they spurn the Tarot, they spurn the company of Hours and recognition as so, for they proclaim themselves to be greater than those who came before and they proclaim it an insult to characterize them alongside those who came before.

The Histories
- The First History, a.k.a. the History of the Unkindled Forge: where the glory of old and its ways are revered above all else.

- The Fourth History, a.k.a. the History of the Wailing Winter: where even endings do not end.
- The Fifth History, a.k.a. the History of the Unrealized Moth: where humanity ekes out an existence among the ruins of the past.

- The Seventh History, a.k.a. the History of the Unanswered Knock: where the way is closed and revenge is plotted.

The Third Fansus
The Third Fansus is the Desmoterion, the Place of Chains. It is also known as the Gaol, House of the Remanded and the Cloister to the Uncorrected. In order to disculpate themselves from a cosmical, atrocious bloodshed, the Hours remain there, secluded amongst themselves, using human agents as envoys, spies and advocates.

The Histories
In the House of Ways, there was once only one History, ruled by the originating from-stone Hours. Over the course of the Wassail, not only were these from-stones murdered, but the history itself was fractured and fragmented, conveniently erasing any evidence.
The Fourth Fansus
The Fourth Fansus is the House of the Stars, House of the Twins, or the Twin-Mansus, where the Houses of the Wyrm and the House of the King collided, their Glories touched and got trapped in an endless dance, and many Histories and Hours were destroyed, split, merged, or worse.
The Hours
Living Hours
The current, existing Hours of the Fansus are listed below. The divination system of Lenormand has been chosen for classification, with each Hour having two cards assigned to them, and the slightly more dominant (primary) one determines where the Hour is placed on the list.

The Histories
There were six, but there were twelve, but there were four, and then there were two. Just before the Collision of the two original Mansii, there remained two Histories, one for each existing Mansus; however, when the Mansi collided, the Histories did, too. What remains now is for humans as hard to distinguish as for Hours.
The Fifth Fansus
The Fifth Fansus currently consists of wild brainstorming and half-formed ideas.
