"Tiara XII whispers to us of the world beneath Derbin's clouds, the high plains of the midaltitudes. The pressure remains constant around 1.3 atmospheres, and the temperature is a merely hot 310-280 kelvin. Amazing: beneath its clouds and yet still beneath the high plateaus present on the planet, Derbin is almost disturbingly habitable."
"Which begs the question: Where are the lakes, the rivers? Water is liquid here- we know it from the rain. But where does the rain pool? Surely this planet has endorheic basins, even if (evidently) it has no true ocean."
"While Mesbin was a hell and Valyr was a liar, Egad/Adjar instead had a remarkably positive reputation among the romantics of the early post-landing period. Alternately it was presented as promised land and ideal escape, and even today retains some of that air- while Egad is often maligned in recent media (a small, icy world whose green tint must be negative rather than belying habitability; a Duna at best to Valyr's second Laythe), it's still high on public polls of "most likely planet to be habitable"."
