Greyhawk Discovered

Apparently its just after the Rain of Colorless Fire, because this sucker is on fire!

Astronomers have named planet Kepler -78B. This sucker is roughly the size of Earth but has the unfortunate placing of rotating a bit too close to its sun, so for the nonce, its a burning ball of fiery hell. The whole surface, or so it is speculated, is covered in lava.

Of course this does not necessarily mean it will always be such. Our own chunk of rock was once covered in fiery volcanoes and lava. But it cooled. Perhaps in the near future Kepler -78B's star will cool and give it a breather.

And the rain of fire will surely end . . . . then you must look to the Great Kingdom!

Wired.

Don't you mean it is orbiting too close to the sun? Rotation would be it spinning on its axis.
