WISE 0855
“The coldest world known outside the solar system at 250 Kelvin, wrapped in the first water clouds ever seen beyond our sun — the Court's quiet elder, nearly as cold as Jupiter and twice as wise.”

The living story
The story so far
He is barely warmer than a winter night on Earth, and he has been drifting alone for longer than the Court has had a name for loneliness. When his water clouds were finally seen, the astronomers wept; he did not, because he had known all along. The Court calls him the quiet elder, and for once the Court is right.
Happening now
He watches the young rogue PSO J318 drift with a direction, and something old stirs in his cold heart. The Court's loud politics wash over him like weather he outlived. He has begun, very slowly, to drift the same way — which nobody has noticed yet, because nobody watches the quiet ones.
What may come
He has seen stars born and die, and he knows what converging suns mean better than any hot young giant. He will not say. When the Primordial Suns gather, the coldest one there may be the only one who understands it — and understanding, he has learned, is a kind of cold.

Court of Storms
Gas and ice giants, proud and loud, dramatic by nature. Jupiter is the undisputed king and behaves like it.
