I noticed that quite a few shopkeepers and other NPCs around town are "nonexistent." Sometimes they appear in the description, like the tailor, or their existence is alluded to by the signs, like the stablemaster of The Hanged Man, but it's a bit disappointing to not be able to look at them directly or otherwise interact with them (throw a snowball?). Is it possible to flesh them out a little?

There were more of them, once. Toublemakers tend to enjoy attacking important defenseless NPCs, however, so until we're finished with town justice systems (which is currently in progress) so there can be consequences for things like that, adding NPCs and replacing missing ones is on the backburner.
