“On K2-141b, the vaporized-rock rain fell sideways for a day — wind from no storm. CoRoT-7b, the eldest lava world, called it 'weather from somewhere else.'”
K2-141b's rain fell upward

“An ultra-short-period lava world orbiting its star in under 7 hours, with a magma ocean and supersonic winds that rain vaporized rock — Magmasurge is two-thirds inferno, one-third frozen night, and entirely done with your opinions.”

K2-141b circles its star in under seven hours, so close that two-thirds of it is permanent day: a magma ocean under supersonic winds that vaporize rock and rain it back down on the frozen night side. He is the Court's furnace and its warning — this is what happens when you stand too close to power.
His magma ocean has developed a slow, deliberate swell — a tide with no moon to cause it. Magmasurge stands in the surf of molten rock and stares outward, and for the first time in his long fury, he looks uncertain.
The furnace-keepers' oldest law: when the magma tides rise without a moon, the Suns are near. Magmasurge has begun banking his fires, the way you bank a forge before a storm.
