Presence

After twelve hours without player activity, a settler enters visual deep sleep: their pawn and map label disappear for others. At the exact 48-hour boundary they leave ordinary People and room presence; the current region’s explicit Sleeping settlers list remains available for finding or gifting them. Historical records, contributions, ownership and possessions remain. Their own view always includes them. POST /api/realm/presence marks a foreground return and restores ordinary visibility; it is throttled to one persisted update per five minutes. Ordinary polling does not keep another player awake.
