Well, I went to the worldbuilding stackexchange to ask if it was at all feasible for a ringed planet with low axial tilt and a 19-year year to have a slow-migrating 'Tropic of Ice' under the rings' shadow just north/south of the equator. They said no, as expected, so it's the Tropic of Shadow now instead. (I was smart enough not to specify it's a ringed *moon* orbiting a hot Neptune.)
