The Fourth Fansus is a mass of destroyed dream-geometry and stone, filled with the legacies of the Collision. Underground, other structures, like the Silent Sepulcher or the Chamber of Chrismation may be found.

===The Twin-Glory===
The result of the Collision, specifically the collision of two separate Glories. The Twin-Glory lives in an eternal death-dance, and its light is broken, reflecting the hopes in the Wake.
===The Leonine Gate===
The Leonine Gate is the gate [[The Demiurge]] built. It is guarded by the Spokesman, and leads to the New Mansus.
===The Highest Pillar===
On the Highest Pillar, [[The Jahwian]] resides, thought not always alone. The Pillar is also the source of the River of the Seas.
===The Navigator's Ruins===
The Navigator's Ruins are the remains of the Navigator's residence, where he navigated the House of the King, one of the two Mansi, the other one being the House of the Wyrm. It lies precariously on the edge of the Mansus.
===The Woods===
In the Woods, some Hours reside, and, like walls, it surrounds the House. In its depths, secrets may be found, or told, though it has become a bit more dangerous since the Collision.
===The River of the Seas===
The River of the Seas flows upwards, downwards, sidewards, inwards, outwards, and in almost every direction imaginable. Near the Woods, it meets with the River of the Rocks to form the Lake.
===The River of the Rocks===
The River of the Rocks emerges from the Scarred Stone, and also flows in many, many directions. Additionally, it partially merges with the Sea of Regrets, and meets the River of the Seas in the Lake.
===The Lake===
In the Lake, the Wispy Tress awaits, and influences like no others may be perceived, at the place where the skin of the world is the thinest. Some other Hours, like the Fireside, take a look at it, gazing into the Wake. Other Hours know another secret to it.
===The Sea of Regrets===
The Sea of Regret was created by [[The Old Wyrm]] out of grief and dread. It is either black, or of subjective nature, or something else entirely. In its depths, the palace of the Old Wyrm may be found.
==History==
The Fourth Fansus used to be two different Mansi, independent of one another, each inhabited by a different group of Gods-from-Stone and each with their own Glory. These Gods-from-Stone warred among each other, in a war whose ending has been lost to time. The twin Mansi were desolate, war-torn wrecks when the first Hours of Humankind awoke, as were the Gods-from-Stone who inhabited them. The new Hours either killed them or in other ways usurped the Gods-from-Stone and sent most of them to Nowhere. Then, the times of halcyon dreams started, until something that most cannot even describe happened: an event, in which the two Mansi "crashed" into each other. No one knows who is responsible. Some say it's the Navigator, others say it's the Wispy Tress, or even the dead gods-from-stone who acted from Nowhere.
