I'm a total noob at this, and I've been abusing the heck out of Google trying to figure the toolset out. I get how to make items and how to get them into my inventory. Now I'm wanting to advance a little from this, and the resources I'm finding are pretty much nil.

You see, I was wanting to create a little treat for CullenxMage lovers by adding a broken chest to the Templar Quarters during the Broken Circle quest where they can find a couple of items of his in it and a letter. My problem is, I have no idea:

1) How to put items in a chest (let alone the broken looking ones)
2) How to put said filled chest into the game there.  

I know there are resources on doing Codex entries, so I'm sure I can probably figure out how to make a Codex entry to show the note...but it's just those two things that are eluding me.

you can do this by modifying the area, but this will conflict with any other mods which modify the area. There are workarounds, but I would suggest for starting out, you just try this conflict-able method:

• Create a new Placeable (File > New > Placeable)
• Select a chest (container) appearance (important: must be container!)
• click inventory and click the (...) button to open the inventory window
• add the item to the inventory (I assume you have exported it already, if not, do so)
• save placeable and R click the tab or resource Export > Export without dependant resources
• open the area in the toolset (you'll have to figure out which one it is, but probably named something like "lak" or in a folder "circle" maybe?)
• find your placeable in the right-hand palette and click it, then click to place it in the area
• save area and R click the tab or resource Export > Export without dependant resources
• If you want to *start a new game* in that area, then try Tools > Export > Export options > set the override start area and waypoint. Honestly: I've not modded the single player campaign, but I think this would work?

IMPORTANT NOTE:
a savegame INSIDE this area will NOT be updated until you leave the area and re-enter. therefore do NOT load a save from within the area and expect to see any changes whatsoever.

The simplest method would be to do steps 1-5 from Mike's post and then create a PRCSCR file to spawn the placeable (using Create Object) when that area is loaded.

You might also want to set a plot flag so it is done only once per game run-through.

right, thats the "better" way, but figured that might be more complicated for you - give it a go and fall back on the remaining steps if its over your head.
