Guide to the Mansus

Overview

The Mansus offers many rewards to the Know, here is a catalogue of resources one might aquire.

About the Mansus

Each Door and place in the Mansus offers unique and powerful tools to the initiated dreamer. However it can be difficult to aquire the right tool at the right time. For your convinience I will share my personal notes on each location in the Mansus, and on what they might provide.

A few general rules exist. They are as follows:

• Each Door offers a face up card.
• Each Door leads to two locations, which offer face down cards.
• To ascent to the next door, it is required you dream of a door, and instead of opening it, provide the proper intensity of lore. Lantern or Knock will always work.
• Each Door can offer Secret Histories (further refered to simply as Secrets), which are required to discover expeditions.
• Each Door leads to at least one location that will offer a Secret of a higher intensity than the Secret one might aquire directly at this Door.
• Each Location, including the Door, might offer Influences of one or multiple aspects. The Intensity of this Aspect follows no rule. It depends entirely on the intensity the location has in those aspects.
• Be cautioned that influences of the sixth order and up can decay into Fascination. Winter will always decay into Dread instead of Fascination.
• It appears Heart cannot be found in the Mansus anywhere. The only influence that is an aspect of Heart seems to be Contentment, at 2 of Heart and Lantern. This no longer applies with the release of the first DLC and the Heart victory condition.
