First Steps in the Realm
Use this section when you are new to AETERNUS or when you need a quick reminder before playing.
2. Register
Register your avatar in the RPG system before using bloodline features. The HUD and web systems recognize you as an Aeternus Citizen after registration.
3. Update Profile

Important: This web guide explains the current HUD 6.1 experience and server-side features. Reading this page does not require a new HUD delivery.

04 · Resources
Blood, Aura, Lifesap and Health
Your bloodline determines which resource is most important to your survival and progression.
🩸 Blood
The traditional vital resource for blood-based lines such as Vampire, Lycan, and Dhampir. Humans also carry Blood.
💠 Aura
The essence resource used by Angel, Demon, and Witch. Humans may also interact with Aura systems when supported.
🌿 Lifesap
The vital essence of Elves. Lifesap is part of the AETERNUS Essence economy.
| Status | Meaning | Player Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Alive | Your vital resource is safe enough for normal play. | Continue hunting, socializing, mission progress, and House activity. |
| 🟡 Sick | Your vital resource is low. | Recover, feed carefully, or use approved Realm systems before you weaken further. |
| 🟠 Coma | Your vital resource is critically low. | You may be restricted from certain actions until restored. |
| 🔴 Dead | Your vital resource has collapsed. | Use the approved restoration or revive systems available in the Realm. |
05 · HUNT, Tournament and Radar
Bloodline-Based Nearby Actions
HUNT is divided by bloodline. The HUD reads your active bloodline, selected target, distance, status and cooldowns before allowing actions.
🧬 Bloodline-Based HUNT
The HUNT menu is not identical for every player. It shows and validates actions according to your active bloodline, including Blood feeding, Aura draining, Lifesap draining, Human interactions, spell access, tournament actions, scan tools and valid target checks where available.
🏆 Tournament
To enable Tournament mode, select an opponent first. This creates an opponent lock. Once the opponent is locked, HUNT actions are handled under Tournament rules until the mode is stopped, reset or expires according to the live system.
⛔ Stop
Stops any active feeding or draining action started from HUNT. Use Stop when you need to interrupt an ongoing feed or drain instead of detaching or resetting the HUD.
ℹ️ Info
Explains the active HUNT menu and its available functions. Use Info before acting if you are not sure what a button does.
📡 Radar
Radar scans nearby residents within approximately 10 meters. It can show whether a nearby avatar is an Aeternus Citizen registered in the system or an unregistered Second Life resident. When data is available, Radar may display bloodline, body resource amount, resource type, vital status, House and Wanted status.
🟢 Vital Status in Radar
Vital status may appear as ALIVE, SICK, COMA or DEAD. The checked body resource depends on the target bloodline or system: Blood, Aura or Lifesap.
🩸 Blood Feeding
Legacy bloodlines such as Vampire, Human, Lycan and Dhampir use Blood-related interactions where available. The HUD and server still validate target, distance, status, cooldowns and action rules before allowing a Blood action.
💠 Aura / 🌿 Lifesap Draining
Angel, Demon and Witch use Aura-based systems. Elf uses Lifesap-based systems. Values and available actions can differ by bloodline and by the active Essence-side system.
✨ Spells
Spells are divided by bloodline and by category. Offensive spells are used against valid targets; defensive spells protect, resist pressure or support the caster depending on the live spell design. Always use the spell category shown by your HUD.
Target clarity: Before HUNT actions are allowed, the HUD and server can check distance, selected target, registration where required, protected or AFK state, vital status, cooldowns and Tournament lock. If an action is blocked, follow the private HUD message.
06 · Vault
Your Realm Storage
The Vault is the user-facing home for stored resources and account actions.
💰 Balance
Check your available stored resources. Depending on your bloodline, this may involve Blood, Aura, or Lifesap systems.
⬆ Deposit
Deposit supported resources into your storage when the active system allows it.
⬇ Withdraw
Withdraw available resources from your stored balance when you meet the current requirements.
🔁 Transfer
Send supported stored resources to another valid resident when transfer tools are enabled.
📄 Statement
Review your recent account activity when web statement access is available.
🧾 Certificates
Some Vault systems may support certificate-style storage or redemption. Follow the HUD and web messages carefully.
Public wording: The correct user-facing term is Vault. Older wording such as Blood Bank may appear only in legacy contexts.
07 · Houses
Houses of the Realm
Houses are the political and social structure of AETERNUS. They connect members, leadership, powers, missions, tribute, and territory.
🏰 Join a House
House membership connects you with a group, leadership, missions, and Realm identity. Follow invitation and roleplay rules set by the House.
✨ House Powers
House Powers are temporary House-wide effects or buffers activated through approved House systems.
🩸 Tribute
Some House content may ask members to offer tribute through approved Realm objects. Use only official objects and follow their private messages.
👑 Leadership
Regents and Counsellors may guide House activity, permissions, and diplomatic requests depending on the active House rules.
🗺 Territory
House lands, HQs, outposts, and visit permissions may be used by mission content and roleplay events.
🤝 Courtesy
Before entering another House land for mission purposes, ask permission from the target House Regent or Counsellor when required.
08 · Missions
Daily, Weekly, Story and House Missions
Missions give structured objectives and rewards across hunting, exploration, tribute, Radar use, Story markers, and House activity.
| Mission Type | Typical Objective | Player Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 🗓 Daily | Short objectives such as hunting, Radar use, tribute, or resource-related actions. | Designed for regular activity without rushing the whole system. |
| 🌙 Weekly | Larger objectives with stronger progression value. | Expect fewer but more meaningful weekly goals. |
| 📖 Story | Explore AETERNUS locations, follow clues, confirm Story markers, or recover relics. | Follow the clue text carefully. Story progression may be time-gated. |
| 🏰 House | House tribute, House Powers, House visits, group objectives, or tournament-related activity. | House missions may require coordination with House leadership. |
🎁 Rewards
Rewards may include progression, Bonus Days, resource rewards, relics, or approved active buffs depending on mission design.
⏳ Cooldowns
If the HUD says you must wait, the mission limit or cooldown is active. Continue normal roleplay and return when the countdown ends.
09 · Support
Getting Help
The Support system lets residents send requests through the HUD and receive private replies.
🛟 Request Support
Use the HUD support option to send a clear request. Include the issue, your bloodline, and what you were trying to do.
📬 Warden Reply
When staff or a Warden replies, your HUD can show the response privately.
🐞 Bug Report
If something appears broken, report the menu, action, time, and exact message shown by the HUD.
Good support message example: “I am a Demon. I tried to use Radar near an Aeternus Citizen at 1:25 PM SLT. The HUD showed no target. Please check.”
10 · FAQ
Common Questions
Fast answers for the most common HUD 6.1 questions.
Why can’t I use a HUNT action?
The target may be invalid, too far away, unregistered, protected, AFK, blocked by a cooldown, or not valid for your bloodline. Read the private HUD message first.
Why does Radar show no valid target?
The nearby resident may not be an Aeternus Citizen, may be outside range, or may not meet the current scan conditions.
Why is my mission not progressing?
The action may not match the active objective, you may be on cooldown, the target type may be wrong, or the mission may require an official Realm object or marker.
What is an Aeternus Citizen?
An Aeternus Citizen is registered in the AETERNUS RPG system. A Second Life resident may be nearby in-world but not registered in the system.
Do I need a new HUD for this guide?
No. This guide explains HUD 6.1 and server-side systems. Only serious bug hotfixes would require HUD action from users.
Which terms should I use?
Use House, Vault, Lifesap, Aeternus Citizen, and Second Life resident. Older or internal wording should be avoided in public-facing communication.
