Synchordia Demonda Character in Cairne | World Anvil

Synchordia Demonda

"There are some things that dance beyond sight that make even the darkness seem welcoming."

Void Lord Syncordia Voltaire Demonda (a.k.a. The Eyes in the Dark)

Synchordia Demonda is believed to be a great and ancient entity that knows no beginning or end, but has always existed within the darkness of the Plane of Negative Energy. When the Blight was called down, it is believed it was he that answered, seeing the moment as an opportunity to spread his domain wide and conquer new lands. Though none have physically ever seen him, his presence can be felt at great distances, an aura of power and malice that exudes beyond the reaches of the Blight. His influence became even more apparent with the appearance of the Void callers, who worship him as a diety. Despite these rumors and elements that have raised up the legends and myths surrounding this creature, the horrible truth is something far more sinister dangerous. From his draconic roots, to the imbibing of diving power and being immersed in the void, to the connection with the denizens and energies that corrupt the planet, Synchordia Demonda is by far, one of the most powerful entities on the planet.

Personal history

In the annals of Cairne's history, the tale of Voltaire the Shadow Dragon is whispered in hushed tones, a dark chapter marked by treachery and cataclysm. Once a formidable force in the skies, Voltaire was not content with mere dominance over mortal realms; his ambitions soared to the highest echelons of power, reaching for the throne of destiny itself. It was amidst the turbulent politics of the Bechtlarite Empire that Voltaire found fertile ground for his machinations. Entwined with the enigmatic Lich Xendal of the Aberrant Flame, and his co conspirators, Voltaire wove a web of deceit and shadow, his whispers echoing through the corridors of power, sowing seeds of discord and subjugation. The target of their sinister plot: the Seanachaisians, a proud people whose resilience threatened the hegemony of Bechtlarite rule. With cunning and manipulation, they orchestrated a grand scheme to obliterate their enemies, casting Cairne into chaos.   A terrible battle raged in the black and roiling skies, as the Queen and her champions defended the borders of their airship, the Fettered Cloud from Bechlarite troops, mercenaries, and Voltaire himself. In a dazzling twist of fate, the young dragon aboard the airship, Draken Flametongue, let loose a blast of wild and chaotic arcane energy from a wand in his possession, not entirely sure what would happen. The surge of magic lashed out at Voltaire with a power that seemed to have no limit, shredding the dragon's body and sending him careening into the billowing black of the Void below, the result of the conspiracy's cataclysm gone wrong. Mortally wounded and near death, Voltaire found himself urged along by unseen voices in the darkness around him, and even as the negative energy of the Void began to gnaw at his flesh, he pushed all the harder, his own powerful determination unwilling to surrender, even now. He soon stumbled upon the body of the goddess Volri, who had willingly committed herself to Void out of shame and despair for the role she played in the destruction that rained down upon the world that she had helped to create, taking with her, her high priested, Sasha Vrend...who was also one of the primary conspirators that had engineered the entire plot. Voltaire devoured them both with a strange and gnawing hunger he could not explain, but in doing so, he absorbed a fragment of divinity, which empowered him and changed him, moulding his form and shape, and transferring the vary essence of the Void into him, bonding him with it, and generating a connection with all it touched, essentially joining the two in immaculate juxtaposition for all time, granting him dominion over the Void and its denizens while elevating him to a level of power that far surpassed his own.
