Enter the Realm
Four simple steps prepare your HUD and your Citizen profile for play.
Register
Your avatar must be registered as an Aeternus Citizen before Bloodline and progression features can work.
Check PROFILE
Confirm your RPG identity, Bloodline, title, House, health, and other information shown by your profile.
Read private messages
Success, cooldown, target, event, and error messages are shown privately. Follow the exact instruction you receive.
Important: use the official HUD 6.2 distributed by AETERNUS. Older HUD versions may not contain the new menus and event functions described here.
02 · HUD Overview
The HUD 6.2 Sidebar
The official design keeps the five Realm panels visible and places the Minimize control at the bottom.

04 · Bloodlines and Health
Six Playable Bloodlines
Your active Bloodline determines your vital resource and the interactions offered by the HUD.
| Vital Status | Body Resource | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🟢 ALIVE | 1.50 or more | You are stable and ready for normal play. | Continue your Realm activity. |
| 🟡 SICK | 0.90–1.49 | Your vital resource is low. | Recover before taking further risks. |
| 🟠 COMA | 0.25–0.89 | You are critically weakened and actions may be restricted. | Use an approved recovery path. |
| 🔴 DEAD | Below 0.25 | Your body resource has collapsed. | Use the official Revive Altar. |
Body capacity: the maximum body resource is 5.0 L. Radar and HUD messages use the correct resource for the target Bloodline: Blood, Aura, or Lifesap.
05 · HUNT
Radar, Feed, Tournament, Mastery and Bounties
HUNT validates the selected target, range, registration, health, cooldowns, protection, and current mode before an action begins.
📡 RADAR
Scan nearby residents, choose a valid target, and review available Citizen information such as Bloodline, resource, health, House, and Wanted status.
🩸 FEED
Begin the valid Blood, Aura, or Lifesap interaction for your Bloodline after choosing a target.
🏆 TOURNAMENT
Challenge a selected opponent under the official best-of-three combat rules.
⚔ MASTERY
Activate a seven-day Hunt path, build Momentum, complete milestones, and preserve your earned progression.
🎯 BOUNTIES
Track Wanted Citizens, understand their Wanted Level, and use the official bounty flow when a valid claim is available.
⛔ STOP / ℹ INFO
Stop an active feed or drain safely, or open the information view when you need a reminder about the current HUNT action.
Feeding and draining limits
- Each valid tick transfers 0.25 L.
- A normal session lasts about 90 seconds.
- The same pair can transfer no more than 2.5 L in 24 hours.
- A target below 1.0 L cannot be drained further.
- A 10-second cooldown applies between valid actions.
- A Human can use `PUNCH` to repel an attacker for 30 seconds.
Why an action may be blocked
- No valid target has been selected.
- The target is out of range, unregistered, protected, or AFK.
- Your Bloodline cannot use that interaction.
- A cooldown, health limit, Tournament lock, or event rule is active.
Always read the private HUD message before trying again.
06 · Mastery and Bounties
Progress That Rewards Active Hunting
Mastery replaces the retired Spells path and gives HUNT a permanent progression record. Bounties add risk and reward to Wanted status.
⚔ Mastery Hunt
Open `STATUS`, `PATH`, `MOMENTUM`, `MILESTONES`, `CHRONICLE`, or `INFO` to understand your current Hunt journey.
- A Mastery activation lasts 7 days.
- Progress already earned remains recorded.
- Milestones can include 3 Hunt, 5 Momentum, 2 Radar, 1 Chain, 1 Round, +15 Points, and 2 Drain objectives.
🎯 Wanted Levels
| Level | Points | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Wanted L1 | 50 | 2 hours |
| Wanted L2 | 120 | 6 hours |
| Wanted L3 | 250 | 24 hours |
Use `BOUNTIES` to follow the current status and the valid claim flow shown by your HUD.
07 · Tournament and Recovery
Combat, Coma and Revive
Tournament mode has clear round rules. Recovery systems return weakened or dead Citizens to active play.
🏆 Best of Three
- Select and lock an opponent before the Tournament begins.
- The first Citizen to win two rounds wins the match.
- If needed, Round 4 becomes Sudden Death.
- Entering COMA ends the current round.
- Lethal effects are disabled during Tournament combat.
- Defeat applies a 0.50 L loss and COMA.
🕯 Revive Altar
A DEAD Citizen must use the official Altar. Revive costs either 100 Vital Essence or L$299 and takes 75 seconds to complete.
Vital resource transfer is available only when the receiving target is SICK. Follow the private system message if the target is not eligible.
08 · VAULT
Your Unified Realm Storage
HUD 6.2 removes the old Common/Vault choice. Supported deposits now use one clear Common storage balance.

⬇ WITHDRAW
Return an available stored resource to your body or active system when eligible.
🔁 TRANSFER
Send a supported stored resource to another valid Citizen when transfer is available.

Review recorded account activity when statement access is offered.
⏳ Hunt Duty
After more than 5 days without a valid Hunt or Drain, Vault and currency access can be locked until the duty requirement is completed.
09 · HOUSES and MISSIONS
Belong, Explore and Progress
Houses build the Realm’s political life. Missions turn hunting, exploration, lore, and cooperation into structured objectives.
🏰 HOUSES
- View membership, identity, and available roles.
- Follow leadership and territory rules.
- Use official tribute and House activity systems.
- Ask permission before entering another House area when its roleplay rules require it.

Rewards can include progression, Bonus Days, supported resources, and relics. Cooldowns must expire before a limited objective can be repeated.
10 · Realm Events and Messages
Realm Crisis, JOIN EVENT and Daily Whispers
HUD 6.2 connects every Citizen to global threats, event clues, and private Realm guidance.
⚠ REALM CRISIS
A hostile presence can place the Kingdom under lockdown and spread a curse across the active Bloodlines. Alerts may reach you even outside AETERNUS.
⚔ JOIN EVENT
Use `JOIN EVENT` only after the Crisis is active and your status has been confirmed. Joining does not open automatically when you attach the HUD. Plan to remain available for at least 60 minutes.
🔔 Crisis Messages
Read every alert, clue, and closing message. During a Crisis, active health behavior may change; DEAD Citizens must Revive before participating.
🌙 Daily Realm Whisper
A private daily message can bring a Realm hint, a piece of lore, or encouragement for your journey through AETERNUS.
👑 Event Immunity
The King and designated Realm leaders may be immune when the current Crisis settings require it. Always follow the active event message.
🧭 Follow the Event
Do not guess the next step. Use the current HUD status, travel instructions, official objects, and the latest private clue.

12 · FAQ
Common Questions
Fast answers for the most frequent HUD 6.2 situations.
Why can’t I use a HUNT action?
Your target may be missing, too far away, unregistered, protected, AFK, blocked by health rules, or still inside a cooldown. A Tournament or Realm Crisis rule may also be active. Read the private HUD message first.
Why does RADAR show no valid target?
The nearby resident may be outside scan range, may not be registered as an Aeternus Citizen, or may not meet the current target conditions.
What happened to Spells?
The old Spells progression is retired. HUD 6.2 uses `MASTERY` as the active Hunt progression path.
Why can’t I access the VAULT?
If more than 5 days have passed without a valid Hunt or Drain, Hunt Duty can lock Vault and currency access. Complete the required valid activity and follow the HUD response.
Why is my MISSION not progressing?
The action may not match the current objective, the target or location may be wrong, a cooldown may be active, or the mission may require an official Realm object or Story marker.
Does JOIN EVENT open when I attach the HUD?
No. It is used when a Realm Crisis is active and participation is available. Follow the current event alert and status instructions.
What is an Aeternus Citizen?
An Aeternus Citizen is a Second Life resident registered in the official AETERNUS RPG system.
Which public terms should I use?
Use Aeternus Citizen, Bloodline, House, Vault, Blood, Aura, Lifesap, Mastery, Bounties, and Realm Crisis. Retired functions should not be used as current HUD features.
