Greetings to you all, fellow Knights.

So I was looking at the animation that you can watch at the beginning of creating a character and I saw that cradle had a goldish half ring around it, which leads to my question;
What is the half ring around cradle?

don't know, but

I don't know, but I suspect that it's some combination of these art ideas/influences:

In real life, globes are mounted on rings like this. Globes seem to be a standard feature of steampunk design. Three Rings' office is decorated in steampunk motif. So this all seems aesthetically consistent.

Within the game, Cradle is a huge machine. Smaller "domes" or "pockets" or "worlds" are mounted within the Clockworks, and move around as the Clockworks moves. Perhaps Cradle itself is just a pocket in a larger machine, and the golden ring is its mounting.

Edit: Fixed typo.

For some reason I read goldfish instead of goldish.

It's possibly an excuse to create a future DLC pack but after the first one Nick said that there wouldn't be anymore.

Oh well....

It connects the north-and southern poles of cradle...

It appears that cradle rotates on it, the same way Earth rotates on its poles.

Hmm... Yes. It is probably for a globe. Maybe...

Wait a second, move this to the treasure vault! It's a lore question!
