Kyöpeli (/ˈkʊɒ.pɛli/) is the 19th moon of Eos, and the largest icy moon in the sector. Its surface is largely smooth with wide open plains and gentle dune-like formations, but mountains have rising in areas with frequent impact collisions. Its atmosphere is thin and held close to the moon, and its tallest peaks rise beyond the magenta skyline.

Nomenclature

From Finnish mythology, Kyöpeli is an archaic word to refer to a type of ghost which gathers in specific hallowed places, of which the most frequently mentioned is Kyöpelinvuori (ghost mountain). It is a place haunted by the spirits of women who died young, serving as a gathering place after their death and before the beginning of their start in the afterlife.
