Sonrise is a personal Daggerheart campaign set in Post-History Quelmar on the post-apocalyptic floating Isles of Kiston that began in Fall of 2025.
The campaign involves six prisoners and a single newly sentient Clank who are given the ambitious task of doing what every great technical engineer has taught us: reset Motherboard by turning her off and back on again.
About[edit | edit source]
After the apocalyptic event that tore Quelmar's plane asunder and blew it into pieces, the forces that sunk Kiston pulled her remaining isles closer together and kept them together when everything else was blown away. This group of 6 isles now form the setting of our campaign, all linked together by a spiderweb of giant wires, held by spires, that connect to a singularity at the center where Kiston used to sit, the Motherboard.
Over the last two years, a terrorist group called the Sonrising has been taking over datawells and spires and using them to send fallen world viruses to Motherboard to cripple her. Many prisoners of the Argent Department of Corrections had been sent to infiltrate and destroy these datawells and take down the leaders of Sonrising, Persepolis, Petra, and the mastermind, Cairo. During a one-shot at Quelmarcon 2025, these prisoners were able to destroy the final datawell that was feeding Motherboard the virus and stop Cairo from completely uploading his consciousness to the Son's network. He was able to achieve 25%.
While Motherboard is crippled, Sonrising has started up a new major network from a spire within an old skyscraper on Cof call the Son, which contains a powerful AI, capable of giving sentience to a collected army of old automs, warforged, and clank husks that had been used under Motherboard as servants and domestic workers.
One such husk, N0rm4n, given his own mind, reached out to the authorities, turning himself over, saying in his new free will, he has made the decision to help assist those who wish to save Motherboard and even believes he may know a way to do so.
