The Grand Luxstrade of Syndwend
The Grand Luxstrade is the largest luxtrade in Syndwend, considered a legendary landmark of the city. It is located at the southern city walls, within the Great Library district. The luxstrade is divided into three massive tiers, soaring impossibly high into the closed-sky, rising far beyond what the eye can see. It reaches so far upward, it transcends the city's upper and lower dimensions - an extremely rare feat for any closed-city.
However, the Grand Luxstrade is classified as being located in the 1st dimension, as that is where it rises from. All access and traversible points of the luxstrade originate from the 1st dimension. Although it is certainly within the 2nd dimension at its higher points, there is no means of transportation to reach the 2nd dimension - one might only see it far off in the distance, provided they have keene eyes. This is a point of popular debate among Syndwendians, who argue whether the luxstrade actually spans the dimension, what constitutes a dimensional transcending, and so forth.
The Grand Luxstrade is a renowned city landmark, and has taken on a hallowed and mythical legacy. It was crafted in the late Middle Era by some of the best mages and crystallians of the age, and its spells and bindings are still studied and emulated today. It is magnificently large, many times more so than typical luxstrades, and its uppermost portion is crafted in a rare half oval design, meant to resemble the rising sun (a design first used by the nearby Eastern Luxstrade, whose use of a rising sun emblem makes more sense). The filtered light that flows through the luxstrade bathes the Great Library area and beyond in a brilliant glow of golden light.
All three areas of the Grand Luxstrade have limited cliff shelf areas, which are used exclusively for rituals or religious rites, the details of which are mysteriously unknown.
