Argent Ring
Above the world of Hyborea sat a ring of shining silver. It wrapped all the way around her waist, but not too snugly. It had the comfortable fit of something that was well-worn and carefully chosen.
The Argent Ring, as it was called, had once been a ring of rocks and ice around the blue world. It had captivated the planet's inhabitants for generation upon generation, until at last they found a way to reach out and touch it. The first voyages had not gone well. The ships made it well enough, but the brave passengers had not fared well in the cold, airless reaches of space.
For Hyboreans, science never really took hold. There was little reason for it to go beyond the basics. When asked why a thing happened, “magic” is a convenient answer that was often enough true. That left them with a poor understanding of the more necessary fundamentals when it came to getting space travel right the first time.
The scientific method - or the “magic method”, as they were wont to call it - did, fortunately, exist. When the first ships did not return, subsequent ones were sent with a more .. careful approach. Less bravado, more careful study. The notion that the atmosphere simply stopped at some point came as quite the shock. The lack of gravity was received in much the same manner.
As creatures who were familiar with going above and below the sea, the lack of these two things was not seen as particularly large challenges to overcome. Ways to capture and recycle air around ships had been discovered long ago and gravity was solved easily enough.
And so, armed with little more than magically enhanced sailing ships, the first Hyboreans reached the ring around their world.
Many, many generations later, it had been converted into a sprawling port that circled the entirety of Hyborea.
