Entering orbit…
Planet, moons and orbits drawn to one scale; the smallest moons are enlarged so they can be seen.
Surface. Runaway tidal heating drives volcanism across a cold crust - lava lakes and sulfur plains between frozen plains
Volcanic outgassing - sulfur compounds and vaporized rock

Outside the synchronous orbit: slowly receding, like Luna (~cm per year).
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
