Synchrons was the Forerunner word for theoretical points in time that connected great forces and personalities together.[1][2] Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting felt a synchron connect him to Chakas and Riser when he was preparing to open the Didact's Cryptum.[3]
A hundred thousand years later, the Domain showed the Didact the long-erased memory of his parents' execution for rebelling against the Builders. The Haruspis identified this as a synchron and a defining moment in his life.[4]
