Lumengrid

Lumengrid, <c>Seat of the Synod</c>, is a massive city-stronghold on Mirrodin where the vedalken lived. 
==Description==
Lumengrid was the capital of the vedalken and a center of technology and artifice on the plane, a crystal and chrome structure rising above the Quicksilver Sea on a massive cylinder with a mushroom-like dome at its top. The Synod, a gathering of vedalken rulers and officials, was housed here, along with the Pool of Knowledge. This was also the primary area inhabited by common vedalken. Neurok from the coast of the Quicksilver Sea were brought here to help with lab work, exploration of the plane, or to work as slaves, as well as various other exploits of the Vedalken Empire. Aerophins, flying artifact creatures with a dolphinlike body and a translucent sphere for a head, were used as servants. Lumengrid was guarded by Hoverguards and Wanderguards.
==History==
At the Battle of the Synod, the Neurok were able to disable vedalken defenses at Lumengrid, leading to a massive battle that left hundreds including the members of the vedalken leadership dead on both sides. Afterward, the two cultures entered an uneasy truce, in which both inhabited Lumengrid. The vedalken primarily inhabited the upper portions of Lumengrid, and the lower, broader portion of the city was populated by Neurok.
After the Phyrexianization of the plane, Lumengrid became the capital of Jin-Gitaxias Progress Engine.
