That's the way I've always read it, although I never made a serious
excursion to find out.

There's nothing to fear.  NPCs are completely inactive, as far as I've been
able to determine.  They don't "retaliate" against attacks (the rules seem
to suggest that the Grey Seer will do something if cities are attacked, but
at least in the playtest nothing of the sort happenned), they don't gain or
spend any gold, they don't even seem to accrue Glory for ownership of titles,
guilds or locations.  They'll fight back if attacked, but aside from that
they're just statues waiting for a STEAL or a HONOR.

Of course, it may be that the Black Swamp is loaded with really fierce dens,
and movement is a pain as well, but Neclor himself shouldn't be a problem.
