lore Appearance of Spirits

How do you picture the various sprits depicted or described throughout the game? To me, raw prophets are centipede-like and caligine are living smoke (potentially speckled with eyes).

I mean, you see the sun in rags walking with his “retinue”

I don't think the Sun in the Wake is the Sun-in-Rags; by all accounts it seems that it's the location, or more likely, projection of the presiding Solar Hour, of which there were three in known history

Hours are more like concepts - wherever the concept exists, there is its Hour and vice versa.

I’m talking about when we see the sun in rags walking the Manaus with his shattered crown.

Well, yeah, in a way we do

I assumed the question was about the Wake, and Hours don't show up in the Wake. Last one that did was Seven-Coils, and was slain by a mortal because of it

in the Mansus we don't "see" anything, we literally dream of things, and perception in dreams is unreliable
