History
The Cynodd are a cabal of dark sorcerers whose magic is fuelled by constant sacrifices. Centuries ago, they unleashed a wave of conquests across the galaxy to gather new victims. The Vassyr Liberation Army rose to oppose them, creating a cybernetic warrior race called the Enhanced.
The Vassyr Liberation Army were seemingly victorious, but secretly the Cynodd imprinted their genetic signatures onto mystically-charged crystals, allowing them to be brought back in cloned bodies. The Cynodd set up secret operations on planets such as Earth to gather the raw genetic material necessary to recreate their brethren.[1]Paraphernalia
Weapons
The Cynodd have weaponised the embryonic form of a race called the Synergysts which produce an aura of syntropy - pure order. By unleashing a Synergist's power, the Cynodd can convert an entire planet into a colourless, soulless ghost of itself. The effect is so potent that beings native to the planet will experience cellular degradation even if they're lightyears away.[2]
