Holifeier is the only moon of Xinrotstorly. It is very small, but dense, and orbits barely above the roche limit. Its shape is very elongated due to graviational forces.

The origin of the name was when I completely misspelled a word in a discord message, went to fix it, but just made even more mistakes. I ended up chunking some extra letters at the end, and turned it into a name for this moon. I don’t remember what the word I was originally trying to type was.
Holifeier is absolutely not going to be around for long on cosmic timescales. Its orbit will eventually decay, causing it to be torn appart by Xinrotstorly’s gravity, briefly becoming a thin ring before entering the atmosphere and striking the surface, or disintegrating. Although I’m sure any Avali living on the planet would not be fans of that, and would use some clever engineering to boost Holifeier’s speed occasionally, to keep it where it is. Assuming said colonies even exist long enough for it to matter. Should be a few tens of thousands of years at least.
