Spoilers for Descent

At night, depending on its phase, the planet's reddish glow shows through the fog. The reclaimers' improvised gyroscopes turn its magnetic field into directions, which is how the survivors speak of "west" and "east" on Calima.

Quotes

However, since it had been discovered nearly 5000 cycles ago, Calima had stood out as an excellent candidate for a perfectly habitable planet: a satellite tidally locked to the metal-rich rocky planet Rubra Fulgur I, in turn tidally locked to the red dwarf Rubra Fulgur, all of them in a stable configuration for hundreds of billions of cycles.^[1]
