Using the H.U.B.

Getting Started

Using the H.U.B.

The Harmonic Unification Beacon (H.U.B.) is your home base. From here you can see all your realms, create new ones, join others, and manage your account settings.


The H.U.B. showing a grid of realm cards
The H.U.B. with a collection of realms.

The main grid shows every realm you belong to, sorted by most recently active. Each card displays the realm title, how long ago it was last played, your role, a cover image, and the avatars of all members. If any members are currently connected, a live active count appears on the card. Clicking a card takes you straight into that realm's Gamestream.

Game-Lord

You created this realm. You have full control over its settings, members, and data.

Player

You joined this realm via an invite. You can participate in sessions but cannot delete the realm.


Click New Realm in the top bar to open the realm creation form. Give your realm a title and optionally a cover image. Once created it will appear in your grid immediately.

Creating realms requires a Storyteller subscription. If you hit the limit on your current plan, you will be prompted to upgrade.


Click Join Realm in the top bar and enter the invite code shared by the realm's Game-Lord. Once accepted, the realm appears in your grid with the Player role.


The ··· menu on each card exposes additional actions.

Join Party

Navigate directly into the realm.

Delete Realm

Permanently deletes the realm and all of its data. Only available to the Game-Lord.

Abandon Realm
