Synchron was the Forerunner word for theoretical points in time that connected great forces and personalities together into certain fates.[1]
Synchrons are inevitable and unpredictable moments in life when great change begets all, and are rarely felt, such symptoms including stiffening necks and a headache. Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting felt a synchron connect him to Chakas and Riser when he was preparing to open the Didact's Cryptum.[2]
100,000 years later, the Domain showed the Ur-Didact the long-erased memory of his parents' execution for rebelling against the Builders. The Haruspis identified this as a synchron, a defining moment in his life.[3]
