Map
The map is usually a 5 x 5 grid which shows the area around the character. This grid shrinks to 3 x 3 when entering a building or structure or when AP or IP hits reach zero. It also displays the contents of the locations - such as any animals, players, or landmarks in the area. Mousing over the stack of characters will reveal their names.
The center square is referred to as "the player's square" (or, informally, "your square"), The eight squares immediately surrounding it are reffered to as "adjacent squares".
Players can change the way the density or images are displayed in their maps by editing the settings in their profile.

Inventory
The inventory is a list of items that the character is currently carrying. It is believed that there is a 71 unit weight limit that characters can carry, with some items taking up two and other taking zero units of space.
Most items can be used by the character by clicking on the item's name. This may produce no true effect, consume the item, sharpen an item, or reload an item.
