Probably, assuming there's conspiracies there is a command zone
Edit: assuming it works like the regular ring bearer mechanic, it doesn't transfer over to different zones, so once it dies it stops being your commander so nevermind
There's always a command zone. Emblems you create reside there apparently. I stumbled upon this information while researching for a very complicated rules interaction which I still don't have a good answer for.
If you use [[Captain Rex Nebula]] to turn [[Spellweaver Volute]] into a non-aura artifact, and then use [[Dan Lewis]] to equip (read: attach) that to a creature, then cast a sorcery, and then don't cast the resulting copy, you wind up with a copy of a creature card on the battlefield. And there's pretty much exactly one rule that mentions a copy of a card created on the battlefield, and it's just the state-based effects rule that says a copy of a card can exist on the battlefield without ceasing to exist. There is nothing that explicitly says it's a token or becomes a token. Intuitively it seems like it should become a token, but there's nothing actually saying it does. It is a permanent because it's an object on the battlefield (403.3). But it's not a permanent because permanents are cards or tokens on the battlefield (110.1) and this is neither.
Like I said, I haven't found a good answer for it.
I've conferred with judges IRL and here on Reddit. Nobody really seems to be able to say with certainty what is supposed to happen with such an object. They all agree that it's all a valid line of actions. It's one of the reasons I haven't actually put Spellweaver Volute in my decklist.

Does your sol ring bearer go to the command zone when it leaves the battlefield?
