===== New Area =====

An Area in ForgeEdit is similar to what other games might call a level or map. An Area holds a map which is created from one or more images (png, jpg etc).
  - Select "Module" from the main menu.
  - Select "New Area" from the drop down.

===== Configure Area =====

  - Enter **AreaRuinedCrypt** as the name for the area. The name for an area must contain **NO spaces or special characters**. This is used as part of the file name, so limit it to characters and numbers with no spaces. 
  - The dimensions represent how may squares will be used for width and height in 5 foot squares. For this area 20x20 is fine. This can be easily changed later so don't worry too much. So a 10x15 Area would be 50 Feet by 75 Feet.
  - Click Finished to have the Area created.
