Screen Overview

Nameplate

To the left is a portrait of your character, with it's name displayed above two bars. The bars show your current Health (green bar) and Mana (blue bar) as two graphs. When full, you are at 100% full health or mana, half a bar is 50% full, and so on. You can also have the game show a numerical value for each of these bars, to change it, use the options menu.
