* DeityOfHumanOrigin: The Gods-From-Flesh are mortals who ascended through the Mansus to become Hours. How heavily this is leaned into depends on the Hour. The Architeuthian, King of Bayal, is very proud of his earthly origin. [[spoiler:The Anaconda]] has done her best to hide every detail that can be found in Reality. [[spoiler:The Cuckoo takes this to a higher level, and has defaced even Mansus-exclusive details.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: A staple of this House. The Anaconda and the Architeuthian are particularly prone to massively retaliating.
* DreamWorld: The Mansus, and the Wood around it, are home to the Hours and Names, and can only be reached by mortals in dreams (barring certain powerful rituals).
* EldritchAbomination: The Hours, even the Gods-from-Flesh. As extensions of herself that bear her form, the Anaconda's Long fall under this heading as well.
* EldritchLocation: The Mansus, as per canon.
* ElementalPowers: The various aspects of occult lore. They're used in RitualMagic and to navigate through [[DreamWorld The Mansus]], and double as a blend of skills and FunctionalMagic for followers.
** '''[[NonElemental Edge]] cuts.''' It's arguably the most uncomplicated aspect, and is useful for combat and murder. It can also cut metaphorical things, allowing you to trade one stat for another by initiating a battle in your mind. Edge cultists are plain old cutthroats and murderers, but become refined assassins as they rank up.
** '''[[PlayingWithFire Forge]] changes.''' It can be used to build and repair, but also burns and consumes. And can [[DemolitionsExpert blast through warded doors]]. Finally, it's often valuable when navigating hostile terrain, be that icy mountain passes, vast scorching deserts, or dark churning oceans. Forge cultists tend to have robotic and pragmatic personalities.
** '''[[MadeOfTemptation Grail]] seduces.''' It offers the most delicious tastes and sensations, and [[HorrorHunger gives more temptation]] in return. Useful for getting people to make bad decisions. Grail cultists are usually seductive people with strange appetites.
** '''[[HeartBeatDown Heart]] beats, inexorably.''' It's associated with health, vitality, and celebration, but also with compulsive persistence. Can be used to maintain your reputation, restore your health, and ward off some life-draining curses. Heart cultists are described as being ''relentlessly'' cheerful.
** '''[[SpaceMaster Knock]] opens.''' It opens doors, and space, and [[BloodMagic people]]. It's an essential part of any SummoningRitual and can be used to navigate nearly every door in the Mansus. Serpents, venom and wounds are strongly associated with Knock. Knock cultists are good at breaking and entering and are usually thieves, but have spaced-out personalities from being able to see through dimensions.
** '''[[LightEmUp Lantern]] illuminates.''' It shows secret doors, and secret places, and secrets you didn't ask for and don't want to know. [[LightIsNotGood The Light is not merciful]], and is one of the leading causes of GoMadFromTheRevelation in the game. But it's also one of the most useful lores for navigating The Mansus, especially early on. Lantern cultists can be zealous visionaries.
** '''[[SuperSmoke Moth]] confuses.''' It's associated with shadows and chaos, and is good for sneaking by watchers, stealing inconvenient evidence, and [[MundaneUtility navigating dark forests]]. Moth cultists are strange tricksters by nature.
** '''[[AnIcePerson Winter]] silences.''' Like the dead are silent. A vital component in {{Necromancy}}, and a good way to suppress curses or sustain an expedition through icy conditions. Winter cultists are usually creepy, dreadful folk who watch and wait.

The settings of the Fansus are the myriad [[AlternateReality alternate realities]] implied to exist around the canon "Mansus" the mysterious half-real, half-dream realm inhabited by the Hours, the Cultist Simulator of gods.
Each House contains its own pantheon of gods, its own unique rules, and alternate worlds the gods either collaborate or fight each other over to govern. [[DysfunctionJunction Usually they fight]].
Currently three Houses exist, with Fansus One being the most developed. Originally following a formula close to the original setting with the first House featuring a deceased "prime Hour" the others were subservient to, each Fansus has now grown to contain up to ''thirty'' Hours and govern over strange new world that can sometimes greatly differ from the alternate Earths that the Canon Mansus oversees.
