## What to do

No new tables. Area edit rights = `admin`, or the Area's `owner_id` / `area_members` in the
game DB (read-only). A non-admin "New Area" creates an Area they own, placed on the map by an
admin later. Creature and ground *property* finessing arrives as more fields on the same
endpoints and editors — nothing has to be rebuilt for it.

## Definition of done

A second account edits the ground of an Area it owns and cannot touch the Village.
