This is mostly one guy thinking out loud but I thought it fit the spirit of this community.

World shapes are something I like to play around with. I think I mentioned my previous conworld that existed on the inner surface of a sphere, and it would have some similar optical effects, with distant parts of the surface visible in the sky.

I briefly considered making the yinrih's homeworld a toroidal planet but decided to give it a ring instead.
