Incorrect assumption, I believe. The sky dome is either infinitely
distant, or far enough away to be effectively so, given available
precision of measurement, or looks that way from the inner world, due
to a Strange Magical Effect (since it's not itself part of the inner
world, after all) -- take your pick.
Also note that the apparent position of the Pole Star does move
seasonally, as previous observed.
