The Motherboard was a faction of Warforged individuals who ran organized colonies established on and around Kiston.
History
It is believed that the Motherboard has some sort of lineage or connection to the original Warforged colony of The Sky Net which was founded in the late 700s PR. However, most of the operations of the Motherboard were recorded in the 1200s PR and even into the CR era.
Operations
The Network
The Motherboard established a shared wavelength among all of the warforged who worked under them, referring to this group hive-mind of knowledge as The Network. Warforged were able to use the Network to access massive troves of shared intelligence, which could be used in turn as a form of long-distance telepathy, but only in the event that both parties were aware of when and how to talk to each other by reading and writing to the same intelligence base at the same time.
Since "The Network" is what united all of the warforged under the Motherboard, sometimes the term is also used as a way to refer to the entire complex of warforged who are part of this system, though technically the term refers to their psionic intelligence storage.
Kiston
The most public operation of the Motherboard was the organized collection of Existence Crystals from mainland Kiston. It was known that the Motherboard had numerous tunnels spanning the undercaverns of the island, including the famous The Crystal City.
Alpha Complex
The Alpha Complex located in the CR era on Cof was known to many of its inhabitants to be run by "High Programmers", also known as "Ultraviolet Citizens". However, internal memos such as "The Missing 18 Minutes" (seen right) reveal that among themselves, the High Programmers of Alpha Complex still continued to refer to themselves as members of the CPU Motherboard.
The IslandImpeller
The Motherboard, while overseeing Alpha Complex, also kept tabs on Cof's massive turbines which were used to keep Cof at a safe distance from the malestrom that was then devouring Quelmar.
