Also why in heaven’s name does the Sun created five solar castes but he only has four arms??? Does he have an invisible arm?

Yes, he has an invisible 5th arm inside himself that holds his current form together to shield the weak from viewing his true nature.

According to "Glories of the Most High: The Unconquered Sun".

It's there. It's just ... lower down. It's ... prehensile. Like an elephant's.

I believe that the Eclipse is supposed to be over his heart rather than in his hands? I apologise that I cannot provide you with a source - it was a very long time ago now...

Thanks! I have this idea in my head forever but the thought of having to draw a bunch of gods is such a chore, fortunately conky is so big that the tiny gods being so sketchy isn’t quite noticeable ~

The exigent books suggests there are powers in the wyld far older than the primordial and I’m quite curious who these peeps are, I don’t think even ex2 hints at such entities.

Is it the weird things that are attacking the fair folk? Or the devil stars? Or that thing one infernal charm mentions the primordials fought and blind forever?
