[[File:TheSecondFansus.jpeg|300px|right|thumb|A sketch of the Second Fansus's appearance, c. 200 C.E.]]The Second Fansus was constructed gradually, over a long period of time, and by no single entity. The oldest portions of it are said to predate this Place, and may in fact be the remains of a Mansus that came before it; those who could remember are mute on the subject, however. The Mansus proper can be broadly divided into three sections of unequal size - the Foundations, the Edifice and the Arbory - and is surrounded on all sides by the Wood. Adjoining it is [[the Den]] of [[the Mother Bear]], the oldest part of the Mansus if one disregards the Ruins. It is topped by [[the Spirarch]], who descends from the Glory as an inverted tree, forming the Arbory with its topmost branches.
