I'll interject. Not saying your way is wrong and mine is right, but I organised the NPCs thusly:

I created a cast list called Sandpoint NPCs and put the NPCs in that.

I used Sandpoint (Places, Community) as the containing topic for the Sandpoint businesses (Places, Merchant or Places, Location as suitable).

I then created a relationship between each NPC and Sandpoint, and to their business or place of residence.

For displaying locations I (a) create map pins and (b) use their number as a prefix, then Manage the view (F6) and select Display by Prefix.

This way I can find NPCs quickly, and help limit what it already a large number of contained topics in Sandpoint.

It also helps keep track of NPCs who may be mobile.
