What to study

Atlas Masters are people, not menus, and their panel keeps them on screen: Hilda's Hunting opens as a bronze plaque beside the woman herself, she sits at her camp with her dog while you spend her points, her etched portrait filling the panel's left third like a relief on a tomb. The system itself is deliberately small after the giant trees: twelve carved rune tiles in a 3x4 grid, four of them lit blue, and a budget line that does the arithmetic in public, 'Points: 0 (4)'. Allocation is read as light, not numbers: a tile is either glowing or it is stone. Frame at 2:43.0 in the Return of the Ancients Official Trailer (manual extraction; the scene-change pass never fired inside the Masters sequence).

Grid Portrait Badge

Screen inventory

• panel header: a back arrow in the top-left corner, an info 'i' badge, the title 'HILDA'S HUNTING', and directly under it the budget line 'Points: 0 (4)'
• the left third of the panel is an etched portrait plate of Hilda herself, rendered green-patinated like a bronze relief
• a 3x4 grid of 12 square rune tiles with carved glyphs; the 4 allocated tiles glow blue, the other 8 stay dark carved stone
• the panel floats over the live scene instead of replacing it: Hilda sits in-world at right in fur and armour beside her dog, with her camp clutter behind her
• an ornate scrollwork frame with a pierced floral rail along the panel's bottom edge
